I seem to recall that I asked for testing, in particular from users with older Emacsen than 23. But I got no response, and only recently discovered that the patch hade been accepted. format-spec is included in Emacs 23, and is a useful function. But we can rewrite git-blame.el to do the formatting manuall instead. -- David Kågedal -- 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
