Just > state the facts. While I understand that as commit identifiers are used to refer to both a tree state /and/ a change (diff) to said state, I find the ability to $ git log 88bc8332eb..HEAD -- lisp/url/url-ftp.el just too convenient to disregard. Sure, I=E2=80=99d be just as happy to $ git log bug:19594..HEAD, but I doubt that there=E2=80=99ll be /that/ amount of integration between Git and Debbugs in the foreseeable future, not to mention that I do not always check the reports I file against the latest master. (Usually, I update my Emacs working copy just a few times a month, and only take a brief scan over the Git developments between the latest update and the current master, checking for any /obvious/ signs that the issue was fixed in the meantime.) --=20 FSF associate member #7257 http://boycottsystemd.org/ =E2=80=A6 3013 B6A0= 230E 334A
