True, but cat-file being a low-level plumbing, I actually am not all that convinced that it should even know the custom formatting. Configurability and customizability may look always good, but that is true only until one realizes that they come with associated cost. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
