There is a lot of "merge noise" in BK where BK is just recording the fact that changes in unrelated files have been brought together. In general, you don't want to see all that noise, it's more or less internal BK metadata. So BK/Web filters it out, as does bk changes. But in this case, because the cset in question is "named" with a tag it should have been shown. It's a presentation issue, not a data problem, which is why CVS/SVN saw it - the exporter works on the raw data. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
