The pull was strictly a fast-forward. No merge commit was necessary to record the merge, so we didn't actually honor the --no-commit argument.

So a real merge wasn't required here. -- Shawn. - 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
