Yes, this was my exact thought when reading what Linus wrote. ORIG_HEAD might be fine and all, but it pales in functionality compared to what reflog provides. I would very much like to see reflog getting first-class citizen support in git: 1. Be on by default 2. Get documented in all the right places, (much better than adding documentation for ORIG_HEAD in my opinion) 3. Tighter integration with branch manipulations. Do we already delete reflog when deleting a branch? We don't have a branch rename operation, but if we get one, renaming the reflog should go hand-in-hand, etc. -Carl --pgp-sign-Multipart_Fri_Nov_17_08:46:57_2006-1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBFXeeB6JDdNq8qSWgRAnk0AJsFhwhOA0xXBFvpa2kT4fR43NUhPACdGnKG opL4mKlpCjpcJHQC+Eq568E= =+gMu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
