Hi, trying to write a git wrapper, I wanted to parse the output of git branch -v However, I realized that the output prints the last commit message at the end of the line, without any disambigution char, or hyphens. This makes it possible to have these outputs: foo 6d29736 [foo/bar] test123 master 9726de6 [ahead 2, behind 2] line 1 line 2 line 3 where foo is a branch that does not track another branch, and the last commit message on branch foo is '[foo/bar] test123'. The opening brackets '[' are even aligned in the output, making that distinction also difficult for the human eye. So as a small improvement I would suggest some separating char or hyphens around the commit message, e.g.: foo 6d29736 '[foo/bar] test123' foo 6d29736 | [foo/bar] test123 regards, Thibault Kruse -- 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
