And yes, I still get junk output from that build.

However, even with those builds, I get junk output in addition to the <unknown> markers. That is, with a format string of "**%b**", there are three possible outputs : The correct one - eg **Added test for NSDictionary generator** The unknown one - eg **<unknown>** The complete junk one - eg **n del Strothereb0d794bacc1761e8a0681e9b144c514702d9b7a** The latter's 'body' is almost always terminated by an unprintable character, which always seems to be 03. Hmmm. I wonder if it's coincidence that I can only seem to spot this problem in my repos that have been set up via submodule init... - 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
