Strictly speaking, it is not even correct with the upstream master. I believe even my own 'maint' has fast forward merge that I pulled from other people, and that part of the history if you follow first-parent, you would not be following the "project's" history (if there is such a thing, and if you are equating it with "JC's view of the history"). - 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
