Re: [PATCH] Fix git-pull output message

Robert Watson [off-list ref] writes:

Notice that the git.git directory is truncated.  It seems the
intension is to truncate at the .git directory level.

c5434dead6a52a48c520dfa3d8ed24dc3673ab1a commit introduced this
behaviour, and we kept it ever since.

It may look a bit weird when it is applied to git.git/, but the
intention is to shorten the log message without losing much
information.  ".../torvalds/linux-2.6.git" is similarly
shortened to ".../torvalds/linux-2.6".

You can see 'git log' output in the kernel repository and look
for commit log messages of merge commits, and notice all those
repository names with trailing ".git" stripped.
