It would be nice to be able to explicitly ask to suppress some of the output for cases where there's a lot of it and only a small part is interesting (like when resolving a large merge as mentioned earlier) - I often end up doing this by hand in those situations. I do agree that doing this by default would be surprising. -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
