From 3058e9339f05379462b7e14d832d091cc3d9b2b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2006 19:14:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] merge-recur: Explain why sha_eq() and struct stage_data cannot go There were two TODOs to remove sha_eq() and to convert users of struct stage_data to active_cache users, but this is not possible.
