You can read "reversibility" as "safety" if you want. We would want to make sure we know what we are deleting before deleting a path. The history that the receiver of such a patch has may have further changes that are relevant that the sender of the deletion patch did not know about, and removing the path in such a case would make the result inconsistent. If the sender did his work on top of the newer version with the change in the path, the sender's patch may still have deleted the path but would have had changes to other paths to compensate for the loss of that change. -- 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
