I agree with you completely, but want to know how this can be fixed in git? Surely there has to be something about the merging algorithm that can be changed to fix this, and if that's the case we can just patch it and move on.
What is the specific problem with the algorithm that causes this?
- pmjordan 16y agoI assume this will reduce the quality of the merge algorithm from a stand-alone point of view, which is presumably a very hard sell.
- etherealG 16y agoI don't know this is true for sure, perhaps introducing the patch would increase it's quality. If someone offered such a patch we could discuss, instead the article only shows the broken test case. It's almost a darcs plug without and reasoning.
- etherealG 16y agosee the link below posted by tonfa, seems this patch isn't worth it anyway :)
