Have you tried the path completion? Alternatively, I suggest making a script $ cat > $HOME/bin/git-showrel << \EOF #!/bin/sh git show "$(echo "$1" | sed "s|:|:$(git rev-parse --show-prefix)|")" EOF $ chmod a+x $HOME/bin/git-showrel Then $ git showrel HEAD:file will do what you want. (An alias will not work, since the cwd will be the project root.) Hth, Dscho P.S.: I just tried "git show HEAD~20:<filename with : in it>" and it did not work... I consider this a more serious issue than the relative path one. - 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
