I know I will never want to switch back to the 10000th from the last branch. I am quite sure that I would forget which branch I was on after switching branches three or four times (hence my original hardcoded limitation of 10 which "should be plenty"). When I know I only have to keep track of 10 entries, having to keep track of 13100 entries, even if it is 36kB (it would actually be 260kB in my case) feels there is something wrong in the design. -- 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
