find a cleaned up 'ge' script below.

and please fix gitXnormid.sh to simply echo nothing and return with a -1 
exit value when a nonsensical ID is passed to it. Right now the output 
is quite ugly if you do 'ge blah'.

#!/bin/bash

usage ()
{
 echo 'usage: ge <commit-ID>'
 exit -1
}

if [ $# != 1 ]; then
 usage
fi

ME=    $(commit-id $1);      [ "$ME"     = "" ] && usage
PARENT=$(parent-id $ME);     [ "$PARENT" = "" ] && usage
TREE1= $(tree-id   $ME);     [ "$TREE1"  = "" ] && usage
TREE2= $(tree-id   $PARENT); [ "$TREE2"  = "" ] && usage

cat-file commit $ME
echo
git diff -r $TREE2:$TREE1
