[...] IIUC, the 40-nybble commit ID is computed from the parent's ID and everything in the new commit including the description (but not the tag(s) if any, which are added afterwards). This would mean that changing a description would actually mean deleting a commit and everything descended from it, then recreating all these deleted commits with different contents (and in particular different IDs), thus making the repository incompatible with any users' repositories where any of the now deleted commits had been downloaded.
I agree with Christian: leave it as-is, it is not perfect (perfection is not of this world) but we can live with it. Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
