I think Konstantin explained why it fundamentally does not make sense to ask "which one is the Nth one after the root". I am not sure how running rev-list and count its output would help, unless you are now solving a different problem (perhaps "find all the ones that are Nth after some root", which does have an answer). -- 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
