I don't want to bike shed, but the prevalence of empty merge commits in the repo seems both undesirable and avoidable. I always rebase my work instead of merge. Is there a reason this is not standard practice in the repo? It certainly makes for a nicer history.

I generally rebase when I'm sure my local patches are only in one repo, but when I've been push/pulling between different machines I don't think it's worth the hassle. Thanks Ian
