My understanding is that we agreed that it would be better *if* we can fix it at a more fundamental level. I looked at the codepaths involved just enough to make that off the cuff suggestion and no deeper than that, and I suspect neither did Peff. If any of us looked at the problem deep enough, we may realize that it would affect too many things, and $gmane/232833/focus=232835 (your second round) may turn out to be a better solution. I think none of us know yet. -- 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
