It blows my mind that Github still doesn't support stacked PRs. Do they never do work that depends on an open PR? Like, as soon as they open a PR they're like "right, better stop doing anything until it's merged"?
The file priority thing is a great idea too. That would be even more useful for search. The number of times I'm searching for something on Github and it just shows me a gazillion tests.... Yeah you can look up their advanced search syntax and exclude them probably, but it's always a hassle.
You can manually stack PRs by making the merge target another branch.
The workflow just makes it a pain, since you have to manually rebase in both the branch and the UI after the original PR merges.
GitHub is putting stacked PRs into private beta around now, actually.
