Yeah, I actually was thinking about matching the (date, author) tuple and nothing else, as it is unlikely you would have dups. By the way, the note to f6b98e4 (git-web--browse: Fix check for /bin/start, 2009-02-08) is interesting. Ramsay's 104332 was the same as what ended up in the commit, but his second patch that can be found by going to the thread from it is obviously a better alternative. In short, I screwed up, by not recalling the previous round. Sorry. I find the "Extra-Notes:" tag a bit too loud, but I am probably a minority who thinks everything but the Message-ID can be dropped, so please don't take it as a feature request ;-) -- 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
