The discussion ends with this posting
http://mid.gmane.org/7viqesz3mk.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org ,
which basically says "we all agree this is bad."
Then Junio changes his mind his mind and posts the patches.
http://mid.gmane.org/7vzl7pyvzl.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org
Whether the feature has merit or not is suddenly not an issue any
more and the discussion veers off in other directions about minor
technical details and about the --nodwim/--noguess option, the
notion of which I find ridiculous by the way. But it further
illustrates how random and anti-DWIM this feature really is.
