closing named branches

[Christian Widmer]

i am a bit confused

i have a named feature branch 'foo' which i want to merge into the
'default' branch (merges are asymmetric) . i want to stay on 'default' and
the 'foo' branches should be closed.

a) to stay on default i have to update to 'default' then merge 'foo' and
commit. if i use --close-branch on the final commit i will close 'default'.
not really the way to go

b) thus i have to stay on 'foo' and merge 'default' and use --close-branch
on the final commit. thus 'foo' gets closed but now i actually have merged
in 'default' into 'foo'. i am on a closed branch. i would have to update to
default first.

am i wrong to say that what it try to accomplish is an exotic use case or
is there another/better way to do this with named branches?

thanks
