Tab-completion wasn't showing it, so I never saw it. Going back to your original (which I suspect may be different from John Tapsell's original): - is this file in branch foo? - has this file moved in branch foo? - what files with extension .zoo exist in branch foo? I am not sure what the difference between the first two question, but the most direct way the scripted Porcelains do to answer these questions is: git rev-parse --verify "foo:$the_path" The third question can be answered by listing paths in branch 'foo' and looking for .zoo, like so: git ls-tree -r --name-only --full-tree foo | grep '\.zoo$' -- 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
