They carry no value. What about the example I posted before? With the recommended distributed workflow, you are going to *double* the history length with redundant entries: 1343 Fixed bug #2423 (merge) 1343.1 Fixed bug #2423 (original commit) Isn't that junk? And I insist on my question: if the history is useful to me, shall I throw it away because it means nothing for others, so the next time someone complains about a bug on that feature I lost the record about the making of the feature? If you set a policy forcing a CVS-like history, go ahead. Otherwise, please don't worry about the usefulness of the history that comes from other's merged changes, and which is hidden by default. Is as if you want a carpet that is nicely crafted on both sides. -- Óscar
