REV_TREE_DIFFERENT : REV_TREE_SAME; I tried it once, but I had problems simplifying the merges, and it is trivial... Not that it matters a lot, but if you try it on master you get some extra merges without a ref like: 373a273 (Merge git-gui 0.11.0, 2008-08-17) f44bc33 (Sync with 1.5.6.5, 2008-08-06) Thanks, Santi -- 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
