        Hi,
I hope this won't go through without a good research and reasoning.

Any such requirement would be kind of showstopper for me personally. It
would be just double work for me when coding (issue is not merge
request), causing awful commit history, resulting in unbelievably
harder effort required to produce NEWS file content (yes, I do use
commit messages to fill the NEWS files in a semi-automated way saving
my time, which I can spend on more productive things). To name a few
major obstacles at least.

I also cannot imagine any such thing enabled for 'work-in-progress'
branches. That would be awful for any porting/cleanup/larger efforts.

So while any such thing would make perfect sense to anyone else, it
doesn't fit to everyone. On the other hand, if I'm the only one...
        Bye,
        Milan
