In
x-pack/plugins/reporting
there are differences between themaster
and7.x
branches. This happens because there is some code that was deleted in master but not 7.x, and some code that was added in master but not backported to 7.xNot backported to 7.x: #64853
Not deleted in 7.x: #52539
The differences have made certain backports a little difficult, and from time-to-time the manual resolution of merge conflicts in the 7.x branch has caused the code to diverge in ways that aren't necessary.
We should be able to find a good in-editor tool like GitLens to compare the branches and edit out differences that don't need to exist. That should help make backporting future changes easier without running into merge conflicts.
