Is there something Im missing with pull requests? Or is it that even programmers like UIs?

1) Git log becomes useless.

2) You're merging code via a UI, without ANY granularity whatsoever.

3) Does it not just FEEL dirty doing this in a UI?

4) A little appeal to authority: http://www.wired.com/2012/05/torvalds_github/

5) and a bit more: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/pull/17#issuecomment-56637...

6) Efficiency lost w regards to minor changes. Youd actually write a comment to have someone change something and then RE-issue the pull request? Sure you would, because youre middle management.

Pull requests seem to be a hacky way for management to get involved with something they understand at the loss of control in arguably the most complex phase of coding: INTEGRATION.
