Questions
- When is having to rebase whole stacks of changes worth the effort? Isn’t Trunk-based development effective enough?
- One of the benefits claimed is “isolated testing” because “testing each diff individually ensures that any issues are caught and addressed early”. What happens if a bug gets discovered in a parent stack/branch? Where does the bug get fixed?
