I could just as easily say "why would anyone pass --abbrev-commit unless they actually wanted an abbreviated commit?". Synonyms are confusing, but ignored parameters sound more confusing to me. While I disagree that --abbrev-commit should have no effect whatsoever when %H is involved, I agree that the link between %h and --abbrev is more solid, so I will split %h respecting --abbrev into a separate patch. If the current behaviour is actually intentional, we should at least update the documentation to say that %H is the "full commit hash", rather than just the "commit hash". -- -- Will -- 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
