It used to be test-column. But we would need an external program to pipe through to minimize changing display code, especially when display code can get complicated (e.g. git-tag for example). The other reason is to get column display even when the command does not support it (e.g. GIT_PAGER="git column" git diff --name-status HEAD~10) -- Duy -- 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
