Branches in bzr are both one-source (one head) DAG (of parents), and the "mainline" i.e. track of commits commited in this branch-as-place. Bazaar-NG tries to keep both information in DAG by using first parent to mark commits on current branch-as-place. Additionally bzr by default uses revnos, numbering commits on branch, which needs maintaining mainline identity for revnos not to change even for one branch-as-place. This leads to the need to use "merge" if you want to maintain revnos unchanged, and "pull" if you are not interested in that. Git correctly realizes that mainline identity is local information, and instead of trying to save local information in DAG which is shared, it uses reflog.

That is the EFFECT of preferring fast-forward over preserving "first parent is my branch" property. So the RESULT is that shared history is identically ordered. -- Jakub Narebski Poland - 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
