| |
Hi all,
[James, I am not picking on you, just using your tree to illustrate a point.]
The top commit in the security tree today is a merge of v3.9-rc2. This is a completely unnecessary merge as the tree before the merge was a subset of v3.9-rc1 and so if the merge had been done using anything but the tag, it would have just been a fast forward. I know that this is now deliberate behaviour on git's behalf, but isn't there some way we can make this easier on maintainers who are just really just trying to pick a new starting point for their trees after a release? (at least I assume that is what James was trying to do)
