I was not able to find a reference for this in the git docs, maybe I just overlooked it somewhere. As a second query, is there a way to do column alignment? For example, I would like the ahead/behind status in one column, and the branch names left aligned in a 2nd column. I can't simply use tabs here since the length of column 1 may differ more greatly than a single tab character. I imagine there is no built in way to do this, but just curious. I'd probably end up having to write some complicated script :-( Thanks again you've been super helpful. -- 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
