It would be useful in for instance prompt status line. At $work we have a number of people using a prompt that includes the result of parsing git-status, but something --left-right-count would be much nicer, and if i understand it, more efficient (although maybe im wrong). In the prompt they use a number of different unicode arrows to show what has happened, with a Y type thing for diverged. cheers, Yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/" -- 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
