Dear diary, on Thu, May 04, 2006 at 10:14:54AM CEST, I got a letter where Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> said that... > - core.prefersymlinkrefs can be given to use symlink HEAD; > this may be needed to bisect kernel history before January > 2006 whose setlocalversion script depended on HEAD being a > symlink.
Oh, I expected this to end up in 1.3.2, actually. :-)
Shouldn't this belong to the maint branch? It is "physically" a new feature but I would consider "cannot bisect kernel before January" a bug certainly worth fixing and the feature is pretty tiny. (It seems to be backwards-incompatible but that only means you should provide some transition path, I think. ;)
