Ok, I've really held off doing this too damn long, because I'm lazy, and I was always hoping that somebody else would do it. But no, people keep asking for it, but nobody actually did anything, so I decided I might as well bite the bullet, and instead of telling people they could add a "--follow" flag to "git log" to do what they want to do, I decided that it looks like I just have to do it for them..
Thanks, now I have one more reason to switch from using git-rev-list to git-log in qgit, file history annotation, that is currently based on git-rev-list, will automatically gain a powerful feature. Marco P.S: The only thing that is still missing in git-log against git-rev-list is a --stdin option. This is needed because with 40 chars SHA the command line could became very long in case of repos with many tags/branches or when loading StGIT unapplied patches (one sha per patch) and one git-rev-list call to loading them all. Without --stdin we break easily on _some_ OS and in the worst cases (a lot of unapplied patches) *even* under Linux. - 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
