The discussion ends with this posting http://mid.gmane.org/7viqesz3mk.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx , which basically says "we all agree this is bad." Then Junio changes his mind his mind and posts the patches. http://mid.gmane.org/7vzl7pyvzl.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Whether the feature has merit or not is suddenly not an issue any more and the discussion veers off in other directions about minor technical details and about the --nodwim/--noguess option, the notion of which I find ridiculous by the way. But it further illustrates how random and anti-DWIM this feature really is. -- 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
