No. Under BK, you had DIFFERENT TREES.
What does that mean? They had DIFFERENT NAMES.
Which meant that the commit message was MEANINGFUL.

Yes, because _my_ pull script is meant to work with the way _I_ have told people (including you) they should work.
The fact that you mush everything up in one tree _despite_ me having told you that isn't a good thing to do is the problem.
Git can technically do it, but then you shouldn't use my scripts, which aren't written for that behaviour.

You don't use it, you MIS-use it. Which is what I'm complaining about.

No, I pulled exactly from the head you mentioned.
In fact, go look at YOUR OWN changelog. And then compare that changelog to the changelog you had when you used BK, and realize that IT IS NOT AT ALL EQUIVALENT. You used to have valid changelogs, even for the merge heads. You don't any more:
Automatic merge of /spare/repo/netdev-2.6/.git Automatic merge of /spare/repo/netdev-2.6/.git Automatic merge of /spare/repo/netdev-2.6/.git Automatic merge of /spare/repo/netdev-2.6/.git Merge of /spare/repo/netdev-2.6/.git
See a pattern?
Your BK usage was equivalent to having multiple GIT repositories.
