In most cases where people are using a PR system as the primary integration point, I've not seen a single PR system that has a problem with sometimes getting the parents in merges backwards. The only time I've seen that is junior developers making merges they shouldn't have been (and are the same developers I would never trust with rebase, even just in their own branches) and there is a way to rebase merge parents if you really want to pull out your rebase fu for something.

> Also, "git praise"? Is that really a thing now? Talk about not understanding programmer humour.

git praise has been a standard git alias for git blame for several years now. I'd prefer if git had followed most other VCSes and named it git annotate rather than making it a micro-aggression out of the box, but yeah one person's micro-aggression that makes a papercut in daily workflows is another person's punch down "humour", I guess. I'm glad you seem to enjoy it, I don't appreciate it.
