I used to rely on git-format-patch to be calling git-cherry in the bg, so that I'd know that the obviously merged patches were upstream alredy. It doesn't seem to do it any more. Reading cmd_format_patch() in builtin-log.c, it seems to have lost that magic that made it so useful... :( Can a kind soul that speaks C fluently help me out here? (The new format-patch gives me 180 patches to merge/rebase, where the old one tells me there's only 51. guess which one I prefer ;-) ) cheers, m - : 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
