We've dealt with this issue long time ago when we optimized the bisection count, which involves exactly the same issue. -- 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
