Have you done any work on the master branch since you branched the topic branch off from it? If not, the merge is just a "fast forward"--no merge commit is created, and instead the head of the master branch is just updated to point at the same commit as the head of the topic branch. No I did not touch master before. It could explain that behaviour then :) I am still in my baby-learn phase but git really rocks (I am still lost with branches and tags but I am trying hard to understand.). Thank you. -- Xavier
