Maybe it’s based on whether the GitHub merge is a squash, rebase, or plain merge? Or do folks usually manually perform the merge with jj?

It shouldn't matter, under the hood the tree is the same for both. I don't know why jj would complain but git wouldn't, hm.

  • for me, squash merges are enforced on github, and usually results in some weird / empty commits if i rebase a local stack after pulling in changes with part of the stack merged.

    • It’s also possible that I start my next task without remembering to create a new diff first. That might explain the conflict when the original commit becomes immutable?
