> Duplicate emails after git merge
> --------------------------------

>                 Key: WHIMSY-52
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-52
>             Project: Whimsy
>          Issue Type: Bug
>            Reporter: Sam Ruby
>            Priority: Minor

> Description of the problem:
> https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/whimsical-dev/201601.mbox/%3CCAOGo0VaZw01Xs7+R7dZSjc4o3Td_X4tBSzi1o+Wh92B3=g9OGw@mail.gmail.com%3E
> The root cause appears to be that common git workflows produce new commits by "replaying" deltas in other branches as a part of a merge; these new commits are then considered distinct, and even flagged as such by the PushEvent GitHub webhook:
> https://developer.github.com/v3/activity/events/types/#pushevent
> It might be worth exploring how other software projects deal with this (and/or making use of existing hooks).  One such example:
