It should not be too surprising, since we discussed it a few months ago: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/192218 Thomas provided a gross but workable solution here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/192237 and we also talked about eventually having a shell-quoting mechanism for pretty placeholders. Then the discussion rambled into "this sed is horribly broken, and the user should get a better sed" territory. Maybe we need to revisit that decision, since this is now two bug reports. -Peff -- 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
