well - I did not have this problem, I just saw it in the other games. I did
not check what is different. What I have is

1. sometimes the first commit for a branch only contains changed files,
making git think all others have been deleted. I found something in
okular which fixes this, and I just packed that into a shell function
which gets 2 parameters (branch name and last master commit) and
fixes that

2. many of old commits in kmahjongg named

This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create tag

look strange, they often have two parents, one from master and
one from a branch like KDE/3.0 - example: v3.0.4 tag (r182579) which
certainly should not have a parent in master.

the whole thing looks a bit like voodoo - but I would like to try that 
version. Where exactly can I find /home/git/nalvarez?
