If the person had truly understood that, why do we even have this thread to begin with?

It will be better understood if you describe *why* it does it that way at the same time. -- 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
