Re: [PATCH v6 00/11] Column display

It used to be test-column. But we would need an external program to
pipe through to minimize changing display code, especially when
display code can get complicated (e.g. git-tag for example).

Hrm, I was hoping that we don't have to resort to a hacky implementation
like that; upload-pack/receive-pack that are not run directly by the end
users but having to be somewhere in path were bad enough, but they were
very much about git.

But at least with your series, "git column" is as invisible as git-sh-setup
and git-stripspace by being marked as purehelpers, so your patch may be
the best we could do.  I dunno.
