Sorry, the last clause in the above comment is wrong, and does not describe what the code attached does. It removes the grandparents from the parent, and leaves the parent still interesting. As a result, in your example: ... if you have a / \ b c \ / d where the pathname disappeared in "b"... we would get this world view: a / \ b c / d because when inspecting a and finding that "b" does not have any paths we are interested in, b loses all of its parents. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Mon Mar 13 16:42:35 2006
