Re: Odd merge behaviour involving reverts

Here is my situation...

I have a master branch.  We have a branch off of that that some

make changes to the code.  they get it to a point where they say it is
ok and we merge again.

What am i doing wrong here?

Don't do tests on the master branch.  Or at least, do as little as possible.  Also, try not to revert merges.  Depending on your workflow and team synamics it might be easier to rewrite history than wrangle reverts of a merge commit.
