But it turns out that the connection marked with plusses is still at O1 instead of S1. So it takes no wonder that the c2 cherries get re-applied to the s2 branch on the next merge. Is this understanding somewhat plausible? Any ideas how to get this this fixed? -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
