That's only the perspective of who cares about VS+CMake. From my point of view who wants a healthy Git overall, the priority is different. "add -p" fix is wider than the context of VS, and I do not discount the need that we need to fix it before we can call VS+CMake issue fixed (and I do not mean to say it is unnecessary to fix VS+CMake). It's just this one can proceed with help by those who do not care about or have no environment to help with VS+CMake because it is more generic, and I do not think you mind to make the rest of the narrower VS+CMake topic _depend_ on it. > Pulling out this patch would break that patch series because it would > leave that breakage in place. We deal with topic that depends on another topic all the time, and I do not think there is anything that makes VS+CMake topic so special that it cannot be dependent on another topic. It's just the matter of splitting this out and make it [1/1], and make the remainder to [1-4/4] and mark them rely on add-p fix when you send the latter out, isn't it? Puzzled... Thanks.
