I'd rather have plumbing operate without filters (if it is possible), so git-cat-file would not run prettyfilter, and git-show would run it. Or at least detect if output is tty, so one can do something like "git cat-file -p v1.0.0:gitweb/git-logo.png > git-logo.png" and get expected result, while "git show v1.0.0:gitweb/git-logo.png" would show the image. -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git
