It is not _little_ silly, but quite silly. It is a historical accident and I personally suggest against using it when I teach git to others. And we are _not_ treating each of them like a tree. We might be treating them as collection of paths (and the range operator is about commits). > But again, I would not be convinced this is a good direction until I > saw: > ... > And I'm still not volunteering to work on it, so somebody else will have > to come up with those things. ;) Even if they would, I do not think it is a good direction to go. It makes the UI less intuitive and harder to learn. -- 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
