When I submitted the patch, I didn't realize that reverse_commit_list() helper function had such behavior. It was very different from what I had expected. Maybe I should have been more careful and looked into the details before submitting the patch. Thanks for your explanation, it was valuable. Especially on the part where you explained about the try_merge_strategy() function, it helped me gain more insight on the whole situation. Sorry for this patch, I will be more careful next time. P.S. Please ignore the empty email, it was me trying to figure out git-send-email and how could to reply to specific lines of the email by referencing them. The email got sent by accident.
