There is no hard limit at the data structure level. git-commit-tree has a hard limit of accepting 16 parents. git-blame has the same 16-parent limit while following the history (but the one in 'next' has lifted the latter limitation). But that is purely academic. Anybody who does an octopus with more than 8 legs should get his head examined ;-). -- 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
