You also have to keep in mind, that I haven't really hacked git before, so I'm just trying to do something with the data I can somehow extract from it. I seriously didn't thought that anyone wouldn't understand that the code example was just a proof of concept. > That you can do it Ruby - and I may be able to do it Perl - has little > bearing on what can be done inside the git log machinery with a small > performance penalty. It also has to do with correctness, is performance more important than correctness? Part of the problem is, what is the correct history, as which it should be displayed via the various interfaces by default. bye, Roman
