Comment 2 for bug 845706

Would there be a way to work around this by examining branch B (in the example above) looking directly at the pre-req and determining that it is or isn't merged into the target branch?

Ideallly I'd love to be able to mark all proposed branches in a pipeline as approved and let tarmac deal with it (it should skip where the pre-req isn't merged rather than provide a comment complaining about it and changing the approval status).
