Re: Question about get_cached_commit_buffer()

Jeff King [off-list ref] writes:

Out of curiosity, do you actually use --show-all for anything?

Absolutely not.  I'd actually love it if I could say "not anymore"
instead, but I haven't had an opportunity to debug the revision
traversal code for quite some time so I do not even remember when
was the last time I used it, which disqualifies me from saying even
that.

So what I'm wondering is whether we should consider just ripping it out
(but I'm OK with keeping it, as once the commit-buffer stuff is fixed,
it's probably not hurting anybody).

I see no problem in removing it.  With more "interesting" features
relying on post-processing (like 'simplify-merges'), show_all whose
primary focus was how limit_list() behaves soft of outlived its
usefulness, I would think.
