I am having hard time to decide what to make out of that "*lol*". That branch is exactly where this is useful, as it is a pure integration branch that never gets its own commits (there is one exception "Revert" that is directly on it, but that is an exception. And making an exception stand out is also a good thing). I do not see there is anything to laugh out loudly about. On the other hand, running "git log -F master" gives a mixed picture, as non-merge commits on 'master' are supposed to be obvious patches that do not need cooking period in 'next', but without the "pee in the snow merges for fast-forwarding case" we do not use, commits on a topic that was born and cooked fully while 'master' was quiescent would also appear on the output, making it a less useful to tell which ones are "obviously correct" ones and which ones were cooked in their own topics. - 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
