What has that to do with "the default output of git"? Yes, in my application I _will_ be using -z
Just checking.
(in connection with the rather hackish read -d '' name command from bash which is not really documented) but that does not change the fact that the default output is broken. There is no reason whatsoever to use octal quotes for non-ASCII characters. Neither programs nor humans are better off by that, and none of the derision bestowed upon me changes that.

No _useful_ idea came from you. - 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
