Re: [igraph] vertex_comb=NULL in contract_vertices() – is this okay?

[Szabolcs Horvát]

I should have looked at the code more carefully.

I appears that:

 1. The original graph is destroyed and replaced with the new one.
 2. vertex_comb is checked for being NULL. In that case the attribute
handling code is skipped.
