However, I think it shouldn't be too complicated to properly align the output, at least for the majority of 'short' file names in the git code base. E.g.: 00:12:10.544266 git.c:512 trace: exec: 'git-stash' 'list' 00:12:10.544266 run-command.c:337 trace: run_command: 'git-stash' 'list' 00:12:10.649779 git.c:312 trace: built-in: git 'rev-parse' '--git-dir' -- 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
