Why would anyone care how many repositories Russell or Greg use? Why does anyone care if Dave used his repo A, B, or C? Aren't I still just going to contact him via his author email addy if I have an issue with an object he has added to the stream? And if I do care which repo he used, why don't I care about the case i've outlined where the chain of command information is lost? > As I said before it is completely irrelevant whether fast forward was > pulled into C directly from A or from B. > > Whats the relevant content of getting the same thing from A or B ? Exactly!!! So what is relevant of getting the same thing from Dave's A or B? The only point would be to show chain of command, but you don't seem interested in that. > 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. Sean
