A fix is really needed there. I do not have time to look at the patch right now, but if the changed output is in line with what --name-status would show, that would be great. I'd call that "the format that should have been from day one". I.e. no '=>' rename marker, but show two names c-quoted (unless -z is used) and separated with inter_name_termination). IIRC, that is how rename/copy is shown with --name-status. - 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
