That's not a merge commit: it even says "Squashed commit of the following:", so all the commits have been merged together and applied on top of master, if I see the history correctly. The frameworks branch is still there, independent from master. You can track it locally as usual with: git checkout -t remotes/origin/frameworks Try then qgit on the repository, showing the entire history and all branches. I personally think it's not the best usage of git, and no, there are no lost commits. > 2.

But that's not the case (you wouldn't see them even from projects.kde.org) Ciao -- Luigi >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
