  If you wish to re-add a package, create a new PrjGit PR which adds again the submodule on the branch that has the "-removed" suffix. The bot will automatically remove this suffix from the project branch in the pool.


+Merge Modes
+-----------
+
+| Merge Mode | Description
+|------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+| ff-only    | Only allow --ff-only merges in the package branch. This is best suited for
+|            | devel projects and openSUSE Tumbleweed development, where history should be linear
+| replace    | Merge is done via `-X theirs` strategy and old files are removed in the merge.
+|            | This works well for downstream codestreams, like Leap, that would update their branch
+|            | using latest version.
+| devel      | No merge, just set the project branch to PR HEAD. This is suitable for downstream
+|            | projects like Leap during development cycle, where keeping maintenance history is not important

Adam Majer	ef5db8ca28	pr: No need to try to merge changes We can reset current worktree and clobber it with the merged changes. We want to emulate `git merge -s theirs` strategy while `git merge -Xtheirs` only picks `theirs` in case of conflicts. So, resetting the changes and reading exact is sufficient `git read-tree -u` updates the current work tree so we do not have unstaged changes.	2026-03-02 11:04:22 +01:00
