I meant something even less in-depth. Your message says only "on comparison", and I did not even know what "this" in your sentence above would mean until I followed the link. There are arguments for writing a conditional as "a < b" rather than "b > a", or vice versa. Let's give guidance on which we prefer. Not a big deal, but I think it is easy when you have just written the patch to forget that a reviewer or a reader of "git log" six months have no has no context at all. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
