"svn does it" is usually an indication of a bad idea, but anyway - it's fundamentally wrong in this case, simply because "$FOO is interested in $BAR" is a property of $FOO, not of $BAR. > The git-blame thing as sketched before by Linus would never be able to > point out mailing lists, or general lists of "interested parties" for > example, but these properties can do anything... No, they can not. "I'm interested in drivers/foo/bar.c fixes" is not an earth-shattering event and it sure as hell does not create a new revision of the tree. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
