It makes sense to make the various information available, but it does not mean it makes sense to add it by default for everybody at all. Given that against all common sense, many newbie web-tips and third-party documents suggest "git branch | sed -ne 's/^\* //p'" as a way to find the current branch in scripts, I am sure such a change will cause trouble to many while only helping a few. I wouldn't mind a new option --verbose-format=... that takes various formatting letters similar to how --pretty=format:... does, though. -- 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
