I think that '=' is a good compromise.
The delimiter used is only relevant for output as the input list is either bugs given on the command line or read for a file. As far as the output, I dislike the '=' as the whitespace between key/value pairs makes it easier to read. Using tab still provides the nice visual distinction between key/value pairs and is easily parseable, as you note. I'd throw my vote in for that (and that's what my current version of the patch uses). -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
