I managed to track the fault down to the inability for git rev-list to handle --author and --committer in conjunction with the --fixed-strings option. It's not difficult to see that the reason for this is that the author and committer search patterns are *always* built as regular expressions. However, I couldn't see any obvious way to do things in a *different* way ... So, is this a known bug (I would call it a bug, yes) in rev-list? Are there any ideas around on how to fix it? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
