Thanks for the explanation. Plain 'git log' does not print any diffs. Does that mean that the --raw flag is a no-op in that case? Perhaps running 'git log --raw' should print a warning --raw given for raw-format diffs, but the output format you have chosen does not include diffs. Did you mean 'git log --format=raw'? You might even rename the option to --raw-diff-format, with the older one still accepted for backwards compatibility. -- Ed Avis <eda@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- 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
