Adding "-F" probably wouldn't be that much work, but tig spawns "git > log" internally, so you would probably end up with the same problem > there. Converting tig to use "git rev-list --stdin" would fix that, but > is probably a bit of major surgery. git-rev-list expects a commit as an argument while git-log does not. I have been gradually changing the option parsing code to move towards using git-rev-parse for splitting up arguments so it will be possible to support refreshing better and pass user arguments to the diff engine etc. When the code will get there it probably won't be that hard to switch to use git-rev-list. I actually added something that let's you alter the command executed for each view. So here is another possibility that can be used: function tignowalk () { tmp=$(mktemp) # or .git/tigfiles or similar # Safe stuff from "stdin" and run tig with custom rev-list command cat > "$tmp TIG_MAIN_CMD="git rev-list --pretty=raw --no-walk --stdin < $tmp" tig < /dev/tty rm "$tmp" } And then: printf "tig-0.2\ntig-0.1" | tignowalk On Wed, Jun 4, 2008 at 22:04, Jean-Baptiste Quenot <jbq@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > 2008/6/4 Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx>: >> Though it seems there are a few display artifacts.

When the user requests --no-walk boundary commits are probably not interesting. My fix below has more information. I don't know if having only the "commit" line show up is a bug in git. At least there are no tests to confirm this or not. commit ad9f9954419b5d3f595580d5184db59a00711f92 Author: Jonas Fonseca <fonseca@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue Aug 5 23:40:21 2008 +0200 Clean up incomplete commits from main view listed for --no-walk When --no-walk is given on the command line by the user it causes boundary commits to be output with just the commit line, i.e: > git rev-list --pretty=raw --boundary --no-walk HEAD commit 60e8ea56880fc2e42008075d516c356ef605bc60 tree 5b76086e4deaf62d3f7baffc6f49840f61d4e79c parent 145194bdfc8bf0b58185bbe28bc0097ce429de4d author Jonas Fonseca <fonseca@xxxxxxx> 1217797175 +0200 committer Jonas Fonseca <fonseca@xxxxxxx> 1217797402 +0200 Remove the global opt_request variable commit -145194bdfc8bf0b58185bbe28bc0097ce429de4d diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index b7a8df1..d93fb04 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -22,6 +22,7 @@ Bug fixes: keybinding to launch the merge tool in the status view. - Fix problem with $(cmd) usage in shell code.
