Definitely. I don't want to keep my ugly alias around forever, and I certainly want more users to have easy access to this (configurable git-branch output formats). However, the series is not the theoretical exercise of prettifying the code underlying -v and -vv. Supporting -v and -vv is something we _have_ to do to preserve backward compatibility, and I would consider it a side-effect of the series rather than the "aim of the topic". The aim of the topic is to get more useful output from git-branch. As long as the topic doesn't paint us into a corner after which it will be impossible to implement -v and -vv on top of the format, I think we're good. -- 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
