I'm still not following. In a given repository, there might be a dozen different branches that have a patch which is textually equivalent to "that" patch ... and differ only in that they are associated with different branches, and thus have different parents. This is way offtopic though, and I'm surely not the best person to help you sort out such issues! - Dave _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
