I don't completely disagree. Certainly, if you want to make sure your
change is merged correctly into every branches, then please do merge
it yourself. It's also nice if platform-specific merges (ie Windows
build files) are handled by the original committer. However, minor
changes to the documentation or code formatting and even simple bug
fixes are trivial to merge all at once between branches. In the end, I
suppose it doesn't really matter; everyone can do what they are
comfortable with.
