It is not only the initial commit. A substantial rewrite and new development also has the same issue. I think you are also contradicting yourself by saying that people would recognize a commit-8, and at the same time you do not like the chunk code that makes sure you do not get too few of them. If people _do_ recognize commit-8 (I seriously doubt that), then wouldn't it help to make sure you have them on every couple-dozen lines so that the user would see the familiar one even when scrolled? - 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
