So I wonder if it's something specific to that debian build. Well, it does indeed. Without changing ANYTHING to my linux-2.6 source tree - I just installed git 1.5.2.1 and now it behaves the way you describe. Conclusion: the weird behaviour that you think was wrong is totally due to git 1.4.4.4. I'll redo the bisect with this new git. -- Carlo Wood - 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/
