https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29993 --- Comment #4 from William Cohen <wcohen at redhat dot com> --- Hi Nick, My (limited) understanding of the code is that first note in the like notes is kept and the later notes are merged into that first note. The downside of this is that there can be a lot of scanning backwards over the previously deleted notes to find that earlier kept note. Is there a choice which note to merge into which? Would it be possible to merge the previous note into the current note and delete the previous note? That would eliminate the repeated long backward scans to find the note to merge into that are currently dominating the firefox build install. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
