Pain "git log" wants default abbrev (to show Merge: lines and "whatchanged -r" output compactly) while "git diff-tree -r" by default wants to show full SHA1 unless asked, which means "memset(revs, 0, sizeof(*revs))" in revision.c::init_revisions() needs to be defeated by the caller. "git rev-list" wants to know if any --pretty was specified to set verbose_header, but there is no way to tell if the user did not say anything or said --pretty because revs->commit_format will be CMIT_FMT_DEFAULT either way. This is the worst breakage I found so far -- "git rev-list --pretty" no longer works, although "git rev-list --header" works so you probably did not notice the breakage with gitk. Honestly, the longer I look at it, the more I feel that this way might break more things than it fixes. I haven't even looked at blame.c or http-push.c to see what's broken yet. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
