Roman - correct is --full-history -- any simplification that makes it easy on your eyes *is* a simplification.

If that's what you want to do, you can prototype it with a hook on fetch and commit. That is definitely an area that hasn't been explored - what nicer (but expensive) views on the history we have can be afforded by pre-computing things on fetch and commit hooks. cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@gmail.com martin@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff
