Even more processing to do for each commit during a "git log" run? > You know, other people are working on _accelerating_ git log as we speak! I think this is premature. You would not need to pay the price for such a feature if you were not actually using it. On top of which, as it does not yet exist, it has not actually been benchmarked. So any complaints should wait until it is actually implemented. > And really, while I can understand that the OP wanted to hide the > information, I am really against that.

If they do not > need bidirectional, they can skip those footers. I think it depends on what the information is, which I'm still not clear on. But most importantly, I think it makes sense to put control of whether that information is seen in the hands of the user who is invoking git. -Peff PS I tried to keep this message short.
