A regular interval ought to be about 3 months but I'd really like to keep 1.5.5 focused on obvious and unanimously supported changes that do not impact the existing semantics deeply, and keep it shorter than that. I think it is too early to tell if this topic falls into that category. The patch is only a few day old, and there has been no real discussion nor comments on it yet. I also felt that the backstory was lacking and it would be hard to judge for people other than yourself how useful the new ff substrategies are in what context. The documentation updates talked about what the options do, but it was unclear why they could be useful in what situations and workflows. At least it was not apparent to me on my cursory read. > --ff=never will turn this off together with fast forward. Maybe we > should have --ff=traditional that is the old behavior. Sure, and I mildly suspect that it should be the default. - 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
