Short answer. Because there are. Count'em ;-) $ git rev-list v1.5.6.3..master | wc -l A longer answer. v1.5.6.X releases are from 'maint'. The branch has forked from the mainline loooong time ago (at v1.5.6, to be exact), and has only fixes. 'master' is a separate branch for development that would eventually lead to the next major release (planned to be v1.6.0). -- 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
