[FFmpeg-devel] Confusing git merges

[Michael Niedermayer]

Hi

I know alot of people have been confused seeing changes and then seeing them
reverted, or seeing changes on the ML that arent in the merged version

I really hate it as well, but this is how 'git pull' works
Unless we modify git or at least the mailing list hook these things will
keep showing up.

when theres a merge, the hook posts all changes of the merged branch no matter
if they are in the actual result or not.

i cant really do anything about it, except hacking the ML hook to filter it
out

When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and
there is nothing more to fear from them, then he is always stirring up
some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader. -- Plato
