Typo.  I meant the parens, and my fingers typed parents. D'oh.

I agree for the "\n\n"; this was my mistake (IOW it should be fixed both 
in show_reference() as well as in your code).

But for the signature, show_reference() _has_ to go line by line, because 
the user is allowed to specify a maximal line count.  This does not apply 
for your function.

Hehe.  This is what I really like about git's mailing list: it is a place 
where you learn something new every day.
