But keeping the current Git semantics, it doesn't. There are valid reasons why a user can type the above sequence with today's Git, and changing it would be backward incompatible, and would make the senario a lot more painfull. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
