Dear diary, on Thu, May 04, 2006 at 10:14:54AM CEST, I got a letter where Junio C Hamano <junkio@xxxxxxx> said that... > - core.prefersymlinkrefs can be given to use symlink HEAD; > this may be needed to bisect kernel history before January > 2006 whose setlocalversion script depended on HEAD being a > symlink. Oh, I expected this to end up in 1.3.2, actually. :-) Shouldn't this belong to the maint branch? It is "physically" a new feature but I would consider "cannot bisect kernel before January" a bug certainly worth fixing and the feature is pretty tiny. (It seems to be backwards-incompatible but that only means you should provide some transition path, I think. ;) -- 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. - : 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
