    Not the answer I was looking for because I doubt my boss is going to loosen his grip on the trunk repository. But an incredibly helpful answer none-the-less, thanks for the insight! Commented May 16, 2019 at 19:34

    @user6567423: If your boss becomes the bottleneck, which he now is according to your description, he's going to have to either change his approach or accept that he's the cause for delays (which his employees then cannot be blamed for). Refusing to change your approach, ignoring the problems you're creating, and pushing the blame onto others are no way of running a business. Commented May 17, 2019 at 13:14

    He does agree that he is the bottleneck and he most certainly does not blame others for it. But yes, I was looking for any tips that might not be readily obvious that could possibly reduce our bottleneck. Thanks for the insight Commented May 17, 2019 at 18:23

    @user6567423 I'm curious if he has ever explained why he's the only one who can merge to trunk. Commented May 18, 2019 at 2:05
