Or both. ;) The thing is, how cg-log -r from:to is implemented is really "show me all the ancestors of $to excepts ancestors of $from". So if $to is an ancestor of $from, it will logically show nothing. But checking that condition separately would take _very_ long time. And just producing a warning when log output would be empty, that seems too noisy to me. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ VI has two modes: the one in which it beeps and the one in which it doesn't.
