So I got lost at the 'revert this merge' bit. How do I get back to the central line?
Assuming that all those merges are intentional.... can we maybe agree that merging branches instead of rebasing onto master only makes sense when they are at least so long lived that the author bothered to upload them to github?

Morning all
I am seeing a certain amount of “Merge branch 'master' of github.com:cctbx/cctbx_project” coming through on the commits – this usually means you did not do a git pull –rebase before the git push. This can be set to the default by using the spell Markus sent out
git config --global pull.rebase true
This will need to be done on each machine you push from, else getting the habit of doing a git pull –rebase before push is a good one.
We have had this on and off with DIALS but it tends to pass easily enough.
What bad happens? Nothing really but the history becomes confusing…
So: may be worth checking that you have the pull.rebase thing set?
