To which I responded that it is still better to report an error than it is to segfault. In this case, the error message _isn't_ fixing the main problem, but at least it gives a better starting point for tracking problems than a segfault. Not to mention that it _does_ provide the correct error message in a variety of other situations (e.g., merge-recursive given bogus arguments). But really, merge-recursive isn't generally called by users, and so it shouldn't get bogus input, so perhaps it isn't worth caring about. -Peff - 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
