O...What do you mean by "branch-bombing"?<br /><br />Once you fork, the forked repo is yours -- it's how distributed VCS works, they make whole copies. If you want to create 123456 branches on it, it's your problem, nobody cares. To clarify, the branch is created *on your own repo*, not on the original one.<br /><br />People are only "affected" when you issue a pull request, but nobody is in any way forced to accept your requests -- more often than not, in fact, they will be either ignored or deleted if you're proposing something the original owner does not agree with. If you issue 123456 pull requests, chances are that you will be flagged and GitHub / Bitbucket will take action and ban you.toyghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499664589774142384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3676448.post-58542609780806794402014-05-24T20:55:08.786+01:002014-05-24T20:55:08.786+01:00This seems to make sense if you have write access ...This seems to make sense if you have write access to the repo.
