What do you mean by "previous" reel? It is not quite defined in your message but perhaps defined elsewhere? How is this different from a bundle? Does a reel, unlike a bundle, contain the full tree for the bottom commits? > This is one of the design decisions which I think may be a mistake; a > less expensive to calculate definition of a reel would be *all* objects > between the starting and ending Reference objects. Do you mean all such objects and nothing else? That would imply that a reel is quite similar to a bundle (but neither rev-list --objects-edge nor bundle guarantees that the result is minimal). -- 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
