I think that perhaps connectivity should be more fine-grained than this. Namely we might want links which are not fsck-able nor pulled (and can be dangling), but will prevent object pointed from being pruned. The "original" (or "cherrypick") relation comes to mind. Of course that can be configured per repository... -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
