Thanks! It seems the way to understand this is that git show can display a bunch of different things, depending on configuration, and --tformat affects only one of potentially many output lines. So git rev-list solves this problem. My script (which creates a file archive, in a reproducible fashion, from a list if git repos and (signed) tags) uses a few more git commands: git clone git ls-files git -c gpg.ssh.allowedSignersFile=... tag --verify git submodule Of these, it appears only ls-files is listed as a "plumbing" command. I wonder if I still need to stick to GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null to avoid surprises for the clone, tag and submodule commands? Any advice appreciated. Regards, /Niels
