Is there something Im missing with pull requests?  Or is it that even programmers like UIs?<p>1) Git log becomes useless.<p>2) You&#x27;re merging code via a UI, without <i>ANY</i> granularity whatsoever.<p>3) Does it not just FEEL dirty doing this in a UI?<p>4) A little appeal to authority: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;2012&#x2F;05&#x2F;torvalds_github&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;2012&#x2F;05&#x2F;torvalds_github&#x2F;</a><p>5) and a bit more: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;torvalds&#x2F;linux&#x2F;pull&#x2F;17#issuecomment-5663780" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;torvalds&#x2F;linux&#x2F;pull&#x2F;17#issuecomment-56637...</a><p>6) Efficiency lost w regards to minor changes.  Youd actually write a comment to have someone change something and then RE-issue the pull request?  Sure you would, because youre middle management.<p>Pull requests seem to be a hacky way for management to get involved with something they understand at the loss of control in arguably the most complex phase of coding: INTEGRATION.
