Perhaps the first two may want to become a single commit. Other than that, the patch progression looks very logical. The column output subsystem gets enhanced using git-column as the scaffolding to help testing and developing it, and then various commands start to make use of the result when the subsystem has become usable in their context. But I am very much reluctant to see us adding a "git column" subcommand; I cannot justify it myself because what it does is even less connected to git than the "--no-index" mode of grep/diff commands, i.e. it does not have much to do with "Git, the version control system". Shouldn't it be "test-column" that is useful during the hacking, much like "test-date", "test-chmtime", and "test_credential"? -- 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
