And I dismissed what you wrote because the example you _did_ state was about something else entirely (ie apparently some giggle bug that simplifies things incorrectly). > What did I do wrong that you rebuff me based on this secondary problem > (which I'm quite aware of, because it was me who mentioned in first place) > and giving the primary problem (which is the missing history) no > attention? It's not missing history. It's all there in --full-history. The default is to give a reasonable simplification, and I told you what the simplification was, and it's perfectly conceptually fine - AND IT IS MUCH MORE EFFICIENT than the alternatives. So I'm not seeing your point what-so-ever. My point is: - with full-history, you have it all, but it's useless in practice - without full-history, it's useful in practice You never gave any examples otherwise.
