Re: [PATCH] allow user aliases for the --author parameter

Hi,

served by an approach to look into existing commits.

I often use "git who Jeff" alias to fill the recipient of my e- 
mails with
this alias:

    [alias]
        who = "!sh -c 'git log -1 --pretty=\"format:%an <%ae>\" -- 
author=\"$1\"' -"

Nice:)

        one = "!sh -c 'git show -s --pretty=\"format:%h (%s, %ai\"  
\"$@\" | sed -e \"s/ [012][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]:[0-5][0-9] [-+][0-9][0-9] 
[0-9][0-9]$/)/\"' -"

Can you explain this one? It seems a bit like git describe, but it  
misses a single char at the beggining?

git (master) $ git one
2ebc02d (Start 1.6.1 cycle, 2008-08-17)

git (master) $ git describe
v1.6.0-2-g2ebc02d
