What does --no-merges --merges do? I would find it most intuitive to error out (since some people would want the last choice to win and others want --merges-only --nonmerges-only to select the empty set), but this patch does the backward-compatible thing, which is to show zero commits.

If we feared enormous parent lists we could do for (p = commit->parents; p && n <= 7 - revs->max_parents; p = p->next) n++; but I suspect that's slower. > --- a/revision.h > +++ b/revision.h > @@ -20,6 +20,11 @@ > #define DECORATE_SHORT_REFS 1 > #define DECORATE_FULL_REFS 2 > > +/* limit to used range */ > +#define MIN_PARENTS(m) ({ unsigned int __n = (m); (__n < 0) ? 0 : (__n > 7) ? 7 : __n; }) > +/* invert fox MAX so that default = 0 -> infinity */ > +#define MAX_PARENTS(m) ({ unsigned int __n = (m); (__n < 0) ? 7 : (__n > 7) ? 0 : 7 - __n;}) Statement expressions don't work in most non-gcc compilers (but inline functions do).
