On: Comparing Confusing Terms in GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab

I might be in the minority here but i hate the term "merge request" because it implies an actual merge. Most pull requests I get against my repos are bugfixes which I typically cherry-pick or rebase against a bugfix branch but very rarely do I actually merge anything.

Every tool I know of merges pull requests.

Like git pull --rebase and rebase --onto?

I don't know of any code review tool that uses those.

But I'd love to know. I asked http://programmers.stackexchange.com/q/256789/108980 a while ago.
