Assuming this is about the default, the answer is very simple. The features to support -c and --cc came _much_ later than -p, and many people have got used to the default behaviour after using "log -p" for a long time. It simply is rude to change the default on them. As -c or --cc won't do anything special on a non-merge commit, you can always say "log -p --cc" if that output is what you want to see. -- 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
