I thought everybody really agreed that being able to skip commits that you cannot say good/bad about is a feature worth doing? Right now we actually have some docs in the man-page about doing that avoidance manually, so it's not like it's debatable whether this issue comes up. It most definitely does come up. Does anybody really think it's not a good feature? And I've not seen negative comments about the implementation either apart from some small details that I think got fixed up already (but maybe the complaints were all hidden by the shed color discussions ;) Linus
