Thanks for the explanation. Now I can appreciate why git-commit works this way. Would it be a good idea to have a --diff-only option to include diff, but not status output? Or perhaps a --diff option, while leaving it to the user to specify if status output is to be included with --no-status, which would open the doors for mixing and matching status formatting control, eg. with --short. -- Cheers, Ray Chuan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
