Hi,

Sorry for re-send this again, for this is really important to me and trouble me a lot. And I've been searching for a long time, but I didn't found any useful.

Or maybe it's the way I uses branch wrong? Should I always keep a branch as clean as possible, and use tag for some unused/not often used branch, to avoid such problem?

Also I doubt whether my last mail reach the mailing list or not. So, any response welcome, even RTFM (I'm actually reading it....) is fine, at least let me know it's just a stupid question.....

Best Regards, Mac Lin
