It should not be too hard to extend the parser to grok: repo-config --get branchdata.description '\(.*\) for netdev$' and when the value_regex has a capture return what matches instead of the entire value. I think that would do what you want. - : 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
