IOW, I think that [master]: created d9a5491: foo: bar is harder to read than [master]: created d9a5491: "foo: bar" And 47% of commits in git.git have a colon (only 7% have a double quote). So I sympathize with the desire to remove the quotes, as they look bad and are obviously not too rare. But I'd like to find a solution which maintains a better visual separation between the subject and the other text than simply removing them. -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
