[pgrouting-users] TSP - the same source and destination point

[Stephen Woodbridge]

What happens if you do not include the the start node in the list of 
stops? For example:

SELECT * FROM tsp_dijkstra('ways','552,169,784,1567,314',272);

I have not used this function in pgRouting so I don't know what to expect.
