I’m think that you’re not supposed to have more than 1 person working on the same stack.

I used the stacking workflow years ago when I was working at Facebook. As I recall no one rebases their work on top of someone else’s unmerged stack. I haven’t used Graphite though so I can’t be 100% sure how they intend it to be used or how they advertise the stacking workflow.

You mentioned that you started stacking commits before trying out Graphite. What made you begin stacking in the first place? Did someone on your team use stacking before? I recall the one of the Graphite founders saying that they got a lot of their early customers because of ex-Facebook or ex-Google engineers who missed their stacking workflow.
