In my devel branch, I've merged some remote branches. Some merges are recreated, since I passed the -p switch, but some are not and all commits from the remote branch are inlined in my devel branch. Could anybody tell me why this happen and how I can avoid this behaviour ? Shouldn't git-rebase fail if -p is passed ? Thanks -- Francis ```
