I would think "git log -p" that implies "--cc" would be a good change, as long as there is an easy escape hatch to let us do what we have to do with a rather lengthy "git log -p --first-parent -m" (i.e. show the change relative to its first parent while traversing the first parent chain) today. Perhaps only when there is no explicit "-m" but "-p" is given, automatically enable "--cc", or something like that. -- 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
