However you may want to merge those changes into multiple branches. #### Proposal Offer an (checkbox) option to "create a new merge request" when you targeted a different target branch when editing an existing merge request. #### Value Being able to support really large projects, with advanced git flows, like the [linux kernel git workflow](http://blog.ffwll.ch/2017/08/github-why-cant-host-the-kernel.html)
