From 8c4021abfd170278d1a3431e2777bedd0c01fbb1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2008 10:02:01 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Fix machine-parseability of 'git log --source' The space between the commit and the source attribute is not easily machine-parseable: if we combine --source with --parents and give a SHA1 as a starting point, it's unnecessarily hard to see where the list of parents ends and the source decoration begins. Example: git show --parents --source $(git rev-list HEAD) which is admittedly contrived, but can easily happen in scripting. So use a instead of a space as the source separator. The other decorations didn't have this issue, because they were surrounded by parenthesis, so it's obvious that they aren't parent SHA1's. It so happens that _visually_ this makes no difference for "git log --source", since "commit <40-char SHA1>" is 47 characters, so both a space and a will end up showing as a single commit. Of course, with '--pretty=oneline' or '--parents' or '--abbrev-commit' you'll see the difference.
