Dear diary, on Thu, Oct 19, 2006 at 01:27:59PM CEST, I got a letter where Karl Hasselström <kha@xxxxxxxxxxx> said that... > Really, every commit.

FWIW, IIRC the Git project has about 6 initial commits. :-) BTW, a popular source of horrification in other VCSes are Git's octopus merges. (A popular source of horrification in Git are kernel developers doing octopus merges of 40 branches at once.) Does Bazaar support those? (I can't really say it's a defect if it doesn't...) (An octopus merge is a merge of more than two branches at once, in a single commit.) -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ #!/bin/perl -sp0777i<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<j]dsj $/=unpack('H*',$_);$_=`echo 16dio\U$k"SK$/SM$n\EsN0p[lN*1 lK[d2%Sa2/d0$^Ixp"|dc`;s/\W//g;$_=pack('H*',/((..)*)$/) - 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
