Hey Mr(s) Junio show some good to me! 2010/12/20 01:05:17 -0800 Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> => To Peter Vereshagin : JCH> > I'd like to output a comment in my script.

Also, it outputs 4 more unwanted fields than just the %B... used with the -p is the only what looks like the what I asked. Is it appropriate in a general case to skip the everything on that output till the first empty line? cause I'm not sure those are always 4 and not-empty lines. Thanks anyway, it's just better than nothing. Although I wish the -p for cat-file to behave like the simlar-minded --pretty of the 'show'. (= Or the Git.pm just to have a functionality to get the %B of the commit. 73!
