That will work in most cases, so that may be acceptable, but if you want to have full compatibility with what "git blame" does (by using a shell) and allow e.g. textconv = LANG=C some-command or textconv = cd ../; do-whatever which are already managed by "git blame" and are OK with my version, it's not going to do it. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
