forking a stack is totally fine and sometimes necessary! stacks are more dependency trees than linear stacks

When merging the "outer" stack, will the _queue_ hold until the "inner" stack merges? Trying to wrap my head around this :sweat_smile:

<@U06DPFHDEG3> what do you mean "hold until the "inner" stack merges"?

Sure, I know that was a terrible way to describe it...

In the above screenshot I'm calling the "outer" stack the branches in blue, and the "inner" stack the branches in green.

If I go to the top of this stack (`gt top`) and merge, what happens when I get to the green branches?

In this case, the outer stack will be merged into `master` and then if you run `gt sync`, we'll delete the outer stack since these branches have been merged and then restack the inner stack onto main

from the inner stacks perspective, if you look at a pr on top of the fork, it'll just look like you merged in part of the inner stack

let me know if you have any other questions!
