"We do not have to do this if there isn't any branch row to the right of this commit" may be better. "We need to do this only if there is a branch row (or more) to the right of this commit" would probably be better. Other than that, the code looks sane to me. -- 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
