Subject: Allow forcing of a parent commit, even if the parent is not a direct one.
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.0-rc4~31
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ca28370a3567c14841c594b89fd62449abc166e6;p=git.git

Allow forcing of a parent commit, even if the parent is not a direct one.

This can be used to compress multiple changesets into one, for example
like

	git cvsexportcommit -P cvshead mybranch

without having to do so in git first.
