*1* To spell it out...  The people who are in the "hate 
chain-reply-to very much" camp would have already done their own 
configuration to get the behaviour they want by now, so changing the 
default would not help them much, while potentially hurting "love 
chain-reply-to" people who have been content because they got what 
they wanted without setting any configuration.

Stupid question: i researched the Git mailing list archive (and read 
the link you provided) and found no arguments (at all) in favor of the 
nested chaining. Are you aware of any?

Btw., dont get me wrong - i'm perfectly happy with the fix in 1.7.0. You 
are also right that behavioral changes dont belong into stable releases.

( I'm just seeing this problem through the biased eyes of someone who is
  affected by it, so i naturally want to have the benefit of the change
  ASAP - without fully perceiving the risks of the change.)

Thanks,
