From eaa4e59c8545f61c6e61559df33dc4792e455d5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2015 13:56:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] merge: do not check argc to determine number of remote heads To reject merging multiple commits into an unborn branch, we check argc, thinking that collect_parents() that reads the remaining command line arguments from will give us the same number of commits as its input, i.e. argc. Because what we really care about is the number of commits, let the function run and then make sure it returns only one commit instead.
