Hi guys I got a dumb question for you to wholeheartedly laugh at, and to which the answer seems to be so self evident. I'd still like a possibly authoritative statement though, just for the books. The question is whether a (3way) merge is commutative, purely in terms of content (i.e. disregarding commit history for now). Iow if no matter in which order I merge A and B, i.e. A into B or B into A, I'd be guaranteed to arrive at the same content. If yes, a followup question would be if the merge machinery sitting beneath rebase is exactly the same as that of a standard merge. The reason I ask is obvious I guess. What basically interests me is if I gave a bunch of topic branches exposure on a test branch and, after resolving issues, applied them to stable, that I could be 100% sure to not introduce new issues content wise just by applying merges in a different order or form (rebase, patch set). Thanks for feedback, Raimund. -- 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
