That's okay.

But you missed my point. The file log-tree.c had some opt handling. I changed it (as can be seen in my patch for combined diffstat), so the merge did not go well with next, which removed that code.

So I tried to be clever and find the (non-merge) commit where this happened. With what you describe, I should have hit *exactly one* commit removing the code.

But I hit *exactly none* with "git log --cc master log-tree.c".

Ciao, Dscho
