This seems to have been introduced in 55246aa "Don't use "<unknown>" for placeholders and suppress printing of empty user formats." by Michal Vitecek. It seems he intended to fix a rev-list with --pretty=format:"" or something like that, but I can't get custom formats to work at all with rev-list, even if the documentation says it should. Anyway, the following patch seems to fix the problem for me, but I'm not very confident that it doesn't break whatever Michal was trying to address. --->8--- diff --git a/builtin-rev-list.c b/builtin-rev-list.c index 5679170..b13e1ba 100644 --- a/builtin-rev-list.c +++ b/builtin-rev-list.c @@ -134,10 +134,8 @@ static void show_commit(struct commit *commit, void *data) if (graph_show_remainder(revs->graph)) putchar('\n'); } - } else { - if (buf.len) - printf("%s%c", buf.buf, info->hdr_termination); - } + } else + printf("%s%c", buf.buf, info->hdr_termination); strbuf_release(&buf); } else { if (graph_show_remainder(revs->graph)) --->8--- -- Erik "kusma" Faye-Lund -- 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
