Hmph, should it? I do not quite understand what "... are not really understood. Perhaps..." wants to say. Understood by whom? By the author of the patch? By the author of the original code? The log would end up saying "Doing the same as bazaar should be the right thing to do(TM), but don't ask me why. I do not know what I am doing, or why checking is better than not checking, but it seems to work". That _could_ be the truth, but it won't help people who are reading the code later, will it? -- 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
