What the hell have the sparc-2.6 and net-2.6 in common except the same owner/maintainer ? Should we base the heuristics on directories and filenames ? Cool. It is relevant for the maintainers to have information which is consistent over a repository. So the source of change _is_ relevant. > Exactly!!!

The relevant part is, that it _is_ relevant for Dave to know where the hell a problem was introduced. > The only point would be to show chain of command, but you don't seem > interested in that. What is the chain of commands good for ? Does the chain of commands change the history information in a specific repository ? No. If you buy food, then it is relevant if you get it from A directly or via B. The commit and the referenced tree is immutable and does neither change the consistency nor gets uneatable. > > If you want to do this, you break the fast forward mechanism and > > reinvent the pull ping-pong which is avoided by the fast forwards. > > Yes, I think there are other ways to avoid the ping pong too. True, but not with a plain rsync approach tglx
