could you please limit this thread to RC4, the latest weapon commits aren't finished yet ...

then please use a branch next time. the develop branch should be always in a releaseable state.

You were the one against `release` branches

You were the one against `release` branches

unstable / not working stuff always went into branches... if the development branch is broken, other devs can't continue their work!

regardingless of that: the release branch was abandoned because it wasn't used probably and the releaser had to fix merge conflicts (which sucks). you have other problems when creating a release. also a lot of commits were added to the release branch which were unstable.

merging a branch/pull request shows to all others, that the author thinks its ready... commit to develop doesn't show this. imo using branches for "unstable" stuff is A LOT more intuitive than creating a release branch which excludes possible unstable commits.

sorry if this wasn't clear... i assumed so.

when I commit stuff into a branch, no one sees them and when I later merge it github doesn't show the commits instead it shows a total diff -> again no one sees what changed
-> won't do so

1. work and commit in your branch
2. git pull --rebase origin master
3. git push origin master
(Don't use git merge)
Your commits will be visible and shown last regardless of when they were made, e.g. the last few commits here: https://github.com/gajop/uberserver-1/commits/master

possibility 2: create a pull request from the branch? then it will show the commits + total diff. a pull request can be created form the same repo, so its few work...
