Are they stored somewhere? Do we need to worry about them? Patch-IDs are purely transient inside core-git as far as I know, but I wouldn't surprised if people keep database of patch-IDs and corresponding commits to somehow speed up change look-ups. Theoretically, conflict IDs used to index the rerere database would also be affected, but I don't think it is such a huge issue. -- 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
