问题
I have read the excellent series of posts by Raymond Chen titled Stop cherry-picking, start merging
And I totally understand that cherry-picking is evil if we are going to merge the branches afterwards.
But suppose I never merge the two branches. Are there any perils of cherry-picking in this case?
回答1:
Not exactly "none", but low risk.
The only issue remains to pick up a change depending on another change that is not cherry-picked: the resulting merge would not work in the destination branch while it was working on the source branch.
That is called "ignoring functional dependencies".
