I thought before that I got funny output out of "git log --show-all --format", but I can't seem to reproduce it now. > being a bug is correct.

I didn't even know it existed until this thread, and AFAICT nobody but Linus has ever recommended its use. And it does not even seem that useful as a general debugging aid. So what I'm wondering is whether we should consider just ripping it out (but I'm OK with keeping it, as once the commit-buffer stuff is fixed, it's probably not hurting anybody). -Peff
