The reason we don't is because until very recently we did not even allow you to revert a merge relative to any parent. We wanted to avoid surprising people who are _relying on_ that behaviour to make sure that they do not revert a merge by accident. We could certainly do what you suggest to imply "-m 1" when the commit requested to be reverted happens to be a merge, but we shouldn't be doing that without thinking things through. It will break people's longstanding expectations. -- 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
