Hi. Was this patch simply forgotten, or are there some remaining concerns about it? Should I submit a new patch which simply fixes the inconsistency which breaks checkout, and leaves the removal of foreign idents on commit to user interaction or hook scripts, as suggested by Jonathan? That would at least restore deterministic behavior... // Marcus -- 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
