So if I understand you, you wanted to see something like: A--B \ \ C--D where A = initial commit B = duplicate change 1 C = duplicate change 2 D = merge branch 'test2' into HEAD where the simplification isn't as aggressive (you still see the duplicate commits and the merge), but we can get rid of the later merge between A and D because A is already an ancestor of D. So do you have a proposed set of simplification rules that will produce that output? -Peff -- 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
