The above code tries to avoid passing blames to the boundary revisions, so "v2.6.18.." makes every old line to be blamed on one revision after v2.6.18, which might be technically correct but not what we want. Instead, we should pass blame, and then prevent boundary revisions to pass blame further down. The code in "pu" today has seen slight restructure of this part and this change should be easier to implement there, something along the lines of... --- l/builtin-pickaxe.c +++ k/builtin-pickaxe.c @@ -450,8 +450,7 @@ static int pass_blame_to_parent(struct s } #define MAXPARENT 16 -static void pass_blame(struct scoreboard *sb, struct origin *origin, - struct rev_info *revs) +static void pass_blame(struct scoreboard *sb, struct origin *origin) { int i, parent_ix; struct commit *commit = origin->commit; @@ -469,10 +468,6 @@ static void pass_blame(struct scoreboard if (parse_commit(p)) continue; - if (p->object.flags & UNINTERESTING) - continue; - if (revs->max_age != -1 && p->date < revs->max_age) - continue; porigin = find_origin(sb, parent->item, origin->path); if (!porigin) @@ -516,6 +511,7 @@ static void assign_blame(struct scoreboa while (1) { int i; struct origin *suspect = NULL; + struct commit *commit; /* find one suspect to break down */ for (i = 0; !suspect && i < sb->num_entries; i++) { @@ -525,7 +521,10 @@ static void assign_blame(struct scoreboa if (!suspect) return; /* all done */ - pass_blame(sb, suspect, revs); + commit = suspect->commit; + if (!(commit->object.flags & UNINTERESTING) && + !(revs->max_age != -1 && commit->date < revs->max_age)) + pass_blame(sb, suspect, revs); /* Take responsibility for the remaining entries */ for (i = 0; i < sb->num_entries; i++) - 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
