Didn't we already consider and reject this the first time around? For example, this thread has a ton of stuff about how we shouldn't prevent people from making commits on the wandering state: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/35777/focus=35835 And here's me even advocating this exact strategy (and I'm sure I didn't think of it; it's probably discussed elsewhere, too): http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/35777/focus=35858 Not that I am not necessarily complaining, but I just hope this decision is "with new-found knowledge we are revisiting this decision" and not "we totally forgot about what came before". -Peff -- 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
