I think you misunderstood my question; I realize that 3 is a useful default for "git show" or "git log -p" et al, for the reason you give. My question was why 3 is the hard-coded value for calculating patch-ids. For that case, 1 seems to make more sense to me. -- Stefan Haller Berlin, Germany http://www.haller-berlin.de/ -- 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
