Since it's been bugging me for a decade, I thought I'd finally try to address it. Here are some patches. There was some discussion about a year ago about just using "git show" for this output: https://public-inbox.org/git/CAP8UFD3QhTUj+j3vBGrm0sTQ2dSOLS-m2_PwFj6DZS4VZHKRTQ@mail.gmail.com/ Christian seemed generally OK with tweaking the output, but preferred not to move all the way to running an external "git show". I'm not sure I completely agree, but it was easy enough to get the results I wanted just by fiddling the current code a bit. ;) [1/3]: bisect: use string arguments to feed internal diff-tree [2/3]: bisect: fix internal diff-tree config loading [3/3]: bisect: make diff-tree output prettier bisect.c | 19 +++++-------------- t/t6030-bisect-porcelain.sh | 6 +++--- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) -Peff
