Pasky, what do you think about this change to "git log"? It makes it a _lot_ easier to parse the result, as it indents all the comments by two spaces, meaning that the header is clearly marked, and you can then do various 'sed'/'grep' things with nice normal regular expressions like '^parent' without having to worry about there being a line that starts with "parent" in the free-form part.. I also think the end result is more readable from a human standpoint, with indentation as the way to distinguish the headers from the commentary, and less ugly ASCII barfic's with "------" etc. I'm doing a 2.6.12-rc3 release, so I care more than usual about the changelog ;) Linus --- gitlog.sh: a496a864f9586e47a4d7bd3ae0af0b3e07b7deb8
