I don't know if that is what Carl's problem is, but yes, to somebody from the git world, it's totally insane to have the _same_ commit have ten different names just depending on which branch is was in.
In git-land, the name of a commit is the same in every branch.
Do you have something like
gitk --all
in your graphical viewers? That one shows _all_ the branches of a repository, and how they relate to each other in git. How do you name your commits in such a viewer, since every branch has a _different_ name for the same commit?
