The only question I have is, what should variable/ > command line option be called? I would be tempted to call it "--no-template", but I think that is too confusing. The "--template" option is not really about the git-generated template, but about a user-defined template that goes on top of the git-generated one (I would have expected --template=/dev/null to do what you want, too, but it retains the git template). Probably "--no-status" would be a good name, as the generated template is the format generated by "git status". -Peff -- 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
