Incidentally, the above spews out a full commit line before the entry (meaning this does not work with current git-rev-list). This is arguably wrong: when format: is employed, the user presumably knows perfectly well what he wants printed. So I guess I vouch for both not using sed as well as what I consider fixing git-rev-list --pretty=format: -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum - 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
