> Pull Requests were never going to happen with Mercurial

TBF, AIUI they're not, strictly speaking, happening with git either: They're an external addition, invented by GitHub or some such, and not actually part of git itself.




That is correct, but an important part of pull requests is that the pull request branch can be deleted afterwards.


How does that work; is it something technical built into it? Or do you mean just because after that one knows that it's incorporated upstream, so not needed as a separate entity any more? Because that would also go for a "pull request" by, say, e-mail or whatever.
