As far as 'git blame builtin-blame.c' tells me (gotta love the recursion there) it has been this way since cee7f245 when the option was introduced. What is the rationale behind this? Is it called '--porcelain' because it is meant to be used by the plumbing to create new porcelain? That seems a bit far-fetched though... -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
