Hi, I am working on git support in Emacs. This involves putting version labels into the mode line and using them for specifying revisions to diff. 40 digit commit numbers are not really fun for that. So I need to use git-name-rev. If I call it with the option --tags, it might return an empty string. If I don't call it with --tags, _and_ the commit number I feed into it is the output of some git-rev-list, am I _guaranteed_ to become some output? Now is there a way to _abbreviate_ the output to the shortest _valid_ form, namely not have something like ref/remote/heads/branchname (or similar) when branchname is sufficient? -- David Kastrup - 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
