Hi Kevin,
since it seems to me that it is not the first time I see this kind of 
regressions happen to KiCad, I wonder why this happens and also if there
is a way to avoid it, for example a more strict workflow to commit
patches or to do more atomic changes or to use more git rebase instead
of merge and so on ...

I am _not_ a developer so I might have said something incorrect or naïve
but I am curious and I cannot resist to ask ... sorry for the noise...

TIA

Best regards,
