Perhaps. Since neither such a cache nor even the commit comments are strictly part of the git data, they probably shouldn't be included in the sha1 hash of the commit object. However, I don't see a fundamental reason why we couldn't store them in the same file but omit them from the hash calculations. That also allows us to retrospectively edit commit comments without completely changing the entire subsequent history. Or is that a little too heretical a suggestion? -- dwmw2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
