@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!

@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 @roshii You do not have to dodge the incoming code, as it is not actually incoming. You have to actively *pull* it from the other location in order for it to hit your base.

@raucao @roshii indeed and so as a maintainer of the main branch you could have a button or command that's called "pull it", but that's not the case either. Probably more meaningful there is to "Approve" or "Merge"
