What is the "graph" if not a set of objects pointing to each other? If you don't want to talk about commit object, then you should fix also user-manual.txt (for example, it states that a merge "create a commit object in the history"). Well, that said, the same sentence as the one I propose without "object" is fine to me, but I just don't understand the difference. -- Matthieu -- 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
