Actually the patched behaviour actively encourages a bad (not in the sense that those oneline tools will not work well, but in the sense that these messages are reader unfriendly) practice; I do not think what the patch did deserves to be called "fixed". And that is one of the reasons, other than that we are in -rc freeze that we do not add anything but unarguable fixes, that I am not considering the patch for inclusion right now. - 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
