Currently commits that are identical (including same history) in more than one major branch are kept as one single commit. Should they be forced to be split apart if after the split point for the branches?
i think the second one more correctly represents the workflow that happened, namely that the same commit was made to two branches. this
Can someone then explain how it happened that both commits were done at identical points in time? (in CVS) Seems to me like someone cheated and just merely *said* he splitted the trees, but actually didn't just yet. Made a few commits to the actually original repository, and splitted afterward?
Another possibility is that the RCS file was copied between the repositories at a later time.
Note though that it is possible to get this effect if a file was patched in the multiple branches, and then commited in all the branches simultaneously.
