Perhaps it would be even more readable to simply split the printing of the commit message and the diff. Tracking this bug was a bit confusing. Ideally, print_summary would just say: print_commit_message(commit); print_diff(commit, "^commit"); where obviously each of those takes a few lines to say properly. But the use of a combination "show the log and maybe the diff" function seems like a shell holdover, trying to avoid spawning too many processes. -Peff - 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
