I agree with this 100%. Also, I think we should explain the semantics of diff.primer to new people like that.

That allows me sleep much better at night. -- 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
