Calling it "pull request" is stupid when the intention of the driving actor is clearly to push something.
@rorschachbtc @threed because in git's original email based workflow, you emailed them to ask them to pull from your personal repo.
@harding @rorschachbtc I know there are reasons, but also it's not like "git" is known for having intuitive terminology and command-line interface.
@threed @rorschachbtc *gasp* how dare you insinuate that!
@threed technically speaking the driver is unable to push if the cop don't pull the fence to let it go on the main road, isn't it?
@roshii That's like instead of punching someone you would request "fist in the face acquisition".
Whether they try to dodge your hit or not is secondary to what you are trying to achieve from your perspective.
@threed good analogy :)
I have to agree it makes it rather stupid in that sense!
@threed it’s not just me then.. always wondered why
