changeset 13158:9e7e24052745
merge: fast-forward merge with descendant
issue2538 gives a case where a changeset is merged with its child (which is on
another branch), and to my surprise the result is a real merge with two
parents, not just a "fast forward" "merge" with only the child as parent.
That is essentially the same as issue619.
Is the existing behaviour as intended and correct?
Or is the following fix correct?
Some extra "created new head" pops up with this fix, but it seems to me like
they could be considered correct. The old branch head has been superseeded by
changes on the other branch, and when the changes on the other branch is merged
back to the branch it will introduce a new head not directly related to the
previous branch head.
(I guess the intention with existing behaviour could be to ensure that the
changesets on the branch are directly connected and that no new heads pops up
on merges.)
