Like I said, I think this change affects too many existing users in a very negative way. But then, I respect Junio's very careful way of dealing with such issues, and am not really doubting that it will take a long, long time to change the default behaviour of Git, if at all. Which is a good thing. And I am certain that Paolo does not believe his release notes argument either. Not seriously, anyway. Ciao, Dscho
