This is not an argument against your patch, but you may be interested in an alternate method: git grep -n $pattern >grep.out vim -q grep.out The advantage is that the editor understands the output as a "quickfix" list and lets you cycle through the hits (just like you might with compiler errors). The disadvantage is that quickfix is a vim extension, so "less" and stock "vi" can't do this (I imagine emacs has a similar feature). It's also obviously a little more typing, but you can hide it inside an alias quite easily. I use the same trick to look for "^<<<<<<<", and have vim cycle through merge conflicts (you can also make it quicker by restricitng the grep only to unmerged files). -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
