Not much and that is why I am not sure if that is a good idea, but one thing is: $ git log master..next $ git log --no-merges master..next would start showing what are still pending in next without noise. With the current 'next', the output of the former is almost useless, and the latter is useful only until 'next' starts diverging again from the master and if you are interested in what will never merged to 'master'. Once 'next' starts growing again, you will get mixture of what's cooking and what's killed; the output from the latter would become useless again. - 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
