Well, "git log" is really just "git-rev-list --pretty", so whichever way you turn, it's there. I come from a slightly different background, where "core git" in many ways originally was about "what I use" and the whole "porcelain" side ends up being "what people who need hand-holding use" ;) Of course, it expanded a bit from that original definition ;) Linus - : 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
