Hi Neal, Neal Kreitzinger wrote: > Add "first parent" to "gitglossary" reference manual page. Sounds to me like an odd thing to do. The term "first parent" is just a special case of "nth parent" --- if someone is confused by the term, is such a special case definition (rather than a general definition of "nth parent" that explains that the second parent of HEAD is HEAD^2, not HEAD~2) going to help him? Adding information about the conventional meaning of first-parent history does sound like a reasonable and useful idea, though more as something for gitworkflows than the glossary. Just my two cents, Jonathan -- 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
