I can't reproduce using v1.7.2.3. Are you sure your pager or terminal isn't hiding everything after the NUL? Have you tried piping it through "xxd" or "cat -A"? I get: $ git log -1 --pretty=foo%x00bar | xxd 0000000: 666f 6f00 6261 720a foo.bar. $ git log -1 --pretty=foo%x00bar | cat -A foo^@bar$ > Is it a bug or a feature (not allowing null bytes in the custom format anymore)? If it is not working, it is most definitely a bug. -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
