There is techical problem with that, namely possibility of D/F conflict. When you delete branch 'foo', you can later create branch 'foo/bar'. If reflog for 'foo' was not deleted, you couldn't create reflog for 'foo/bar' because of directory / file conflict. -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git - 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
