Seems like we'd want all committers to be using a similar work-flow for back-patching, else we're going to have random variations in what patch sets look like in the history. I think the appropriate question is why doesn't it work on Windows, and is that fixable? Without having looked, I'm guessing the issue is that it depends on hardlinks or symlinks --- and we know those are available, as long as you're using recent Windows with NTFS. Which does not sound like an unreasonable baseline requirement for someone committing from Windows. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
