MySQL ALTER TABLE issue with COMMENT on columns

This gist documents a problem with MySQL Workbench, which may be related to an SQL parser bug in MySQL, I'm not 100% certain yet.

This is repeatable with MySQL 5.5.25 on Windows 8, I have not tested this on other versions or environments yet.

First, create a database and populate it with two tables for testing:

DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS `test`;

USE `test`;

How to simplify the graph produced by git log --graph

Ideas for improvements to git log --graph

I will maybe someday get around to dusting off my C and making these changes myself unless someone else does it first.

Make the graph for --topo-order less wiggly

Imagine a long-running development branch periodically merges from master. The git log --graph --all --topo-order is not as simple as it could be, as of git version 1.7.10.4.

It doesn't seem like a big deal in this example, but when you're trying to follow the history trails in ASCII and you've got several different branches displayed at once, it gets difficult quickly.

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:
