Uuuh, such a shame - you know that it was first noted by
Benjamin Kudria (2008-07-23,
http://marc.info/?l=git&m=121677902502581&w=2).
And it was you who tried to resurrect the same issue last year.
(The thing is: i did not search the archive first because it was
clearly a bug.  I did once you referred to your older patch.)
But great that you actually found the time to fix it!

(I must admit though that i'm currently addicted to the coloured
output, because simply switching between my terms gives a clear
indication of where i'm currently git(1)ing.  :->  And that in
turn is something which gives more and more fun the longer i use
it!  It is *really* fantastic once you get used to it.  And do
gc --aggressive and all your temporary fooling is cleaned up.)

Now it's pretty unfortunate that i cannot offer fixes for
anything.

I have a dumb patch of 'rebase -i' which includes the TODO entry
line ($rest) as a comment in the commit message, which is pretty
useful because i think about the rebase task and can store
comments in that very line.  But it introduces commit
--cleanup=strip and patches commit.c to add a --message-prefix
option.  This is no good yet.

Michael J Gruber's today's shocking exercise on the german
keyboard layout - maybe i should really resurrect parts of that
NBSP series?

And referring to one sentence of yours from the past: no, refspec
stuff *is* that hard: they are not a tree which is created via
'refs_build_tree(); refs_merge_command_line();' upon program
start, with pointers to maybe instantiated .. whatever.
/*
 * Note. This is used only by "push"; refspec matching rules for
 * push and fetch are subtly different, so do not try to reuse it
 * without thinking.
 */
I gave up once i found that (in remote.c).  (AFAIR it seems
refspecs are first build L->R, then pushed, then build again but
in R->L direction.  Which is why without a fetch= the remotes/
ref is not updated after a push.  AFAIK - i gave up ...)

But i'm looking forward and really hope to be able to contribute
some useful and good stuff to great projects in the future.
OpenBSD, for example.  :-)
