But Paweł is right; the code path roughly goes like this: int cmd_cherry_pick(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) { [...] res = sequencer_pick_revisions(&opts); int sequencer_pick_revisions(struct replay_opts *opts) { [...] read_and_refresh_cache(opts); [...] return pick_commits(todo_list, opts); } static int pick_commits(struct commit_list *todo_list, struct replay_opts *opts) { [...] read_and_refresh_cache(opts); I'm too tired to dig further, but AFAICT it's just a rather obvious case of duplication of effort. -- Thomas Rast tr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- 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
