Dear diary, on Mon, Mar 27, 2006 at 12:22:04AM CEST, I got a letter
where Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> said that...

And this is the thing I have a problem with - this does not make much
sense to me, why can't we just follow all parents instead of arbitrarily
choosing one of them?

Ok, in that case I want the _full_ history. :-)

Eek. Can I avoid that? What was the reason for choosing this behavior?

Right now I am having amnesia and deja-vu at the same time.  I think
I have forgotten this before.
