reading the git user manual, and i'm curious about the phrasing that a commit might have more than one parent if that commit represents a merge. sure, it's obvious that it would have *two* parents, but why doesn't the text just say that? can there be *more* than two parents for a commit operation? or for any other operation? thanks.
Sure. It's not the kind of thing you tend to run into during light/regular use I guess, but see "git merge --help". A merge can merge any number of "remotes" and this creates a commit with as many parents.
