Re: git log -z doesn't separate commits with NULs

Hello.

You were right. I added parameter --max-args=1 to xargs command and that 
started work as I wanted initially.
Thank you very much.

I wanted to generate several files with some statistics using "git log
-z" command.
I did something like this:
git log -z --patch HEAD~10..HEAD -- SomePathHere | xargs -0
--max-chars=1000000 ~/1.sh

If I put
echo "started"
into the file  ~/1.sh I see that the file is called only once instead of
multiple times.

That is because xargs calls the program with as many arguments as
possible, unless directed otherwise. Put this in the script:

	echo "started $*"

and repeat. Then try this:

  ... | xargs -0 -n 1 ~/1.sh
