I realized that I too have written code in the past to detect which way this goes (in post-receive hooks), and/or the number of commits as per the request John Tapsell wrote: > I hate to get all feature-bloat on you... > > But could it state the number of commits as well please? :) :) So here's an additional patch to provide rev-list logic that supports this feature. I have then tweaked your original patch to make use of it a u+7-5 style. I'm not too picky about the exact style that it turns out to have in the end; I have used my own customized version ever since we started printing a space before the (master *+) dirtiness indicator. However, I think we should try to be as unambiguous and short as possible. Hence I picked the 'u' prefix to avoid ambiguity with the dirtiness indicator.
