Trying to lead by example..., here is the suggestion in a follow-up patch form that can be applied on top of the series. ----- >8 ----- ----- >8 ----- ----- >8 ----- ----- >8 ----- ----- >8 ----- Subject: [PATCH] t4203: make blame output massaging more robust In the "git blame --porcelain" output, lines that ends with three integers may not be the line that shows a commit object with line numbers and block length (the contents from the blamed file or the summary field can have a line that happens to match). Also, the names of the author may have more than three SP separated tokens ("git blame -L242,+1 cf6de18aabf7 Documentation/SubmittingPatches" gives an example). The existing "grep -E | cut" pipeline is a bit too loose on these two points. While they can be assumed on the test data, it is not so hard to use the right pattern from the documented format, so let's do so.
