Re: [Monotone-devel] Commit a child of 2 parents

[Yury Polyanskiy]

Thanks all for replies!

I was 99% sure that the solution would be to commit my merged tree as a
child to revA and then call some fancy "monotone db execute 'insert...'"
to draw an additional edge in revision graph from revB to a newly
created revC. 

Does anyone has a short explanation why such ``drawing'' is impossible?
What does it ruin?

Best wishes,
Yury.
