Hi,

Okay, I got it. A bug is supposed to be inherited by *all* its descendants. Good.

I have to keep in mind that a commit is not actually a patch set, but can be two or more (in case of a merge). So, a bug can be present in a development line for a long, long time, but be visible only after a merge. Since that commit can be compared to at least two trees, one of these diffs must show the bug.

Thanks, Dscho
