One thing we all forgot to mention here is that even if it was a good idea (which it is not), implementing it means a flag day: changing in the pack format, wire protocol and APIs, messing up with compatibility with users of pre-flag-day git, and rippling out to all the GUIs, frontends and integration scripts out there. A veritable mess that would reberberate for years. Any proposal that touches the core git datamodel... better implement something that is outrageously wondrously good and impossible to do any other way. My guess is that people that parachute into this list and propose datamodel changes haven't thought this aspect through. cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- 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
