Dear diary, on Mon, Mar 27, 2006 at 12:22:04AM CEST, I got a letter where Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> said that... > So commit "6" is uninteresting, and commit "5" will never even be > looked at, since we decided that the history of "d" comes from the > first parent with the same contents. And this is the thing I have a problem with - this does not make much sense to me, why can't we just follow all parents instead of arbitrarily choosing one of them? > which is correct (now, there are other histories _too_ that get us to the > same point, but the one you found this way was _a_ history). Ok, in that case I want the _full_ history. :-) > No, it's the expected output just because you expected merges to always > show up. Merges get ignored if any of the parents have the same content > already. Eek. Can I avoid that? What was the reason for choosing this behavior? -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ Right now I am having amnesia and deja-vu at the same time. I think I have forgotten this before. - 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 27 09:32:20 2006
