That usually is spelled as "Helped-by:".
Will queue. Thanks.
I still find it disturbing not to know why "show -s --format=..."
takes measurable time, though. "-s" means "we do not need any diff
output", so it ought to be comparable to "git cat-file commit $rev"
with some formatting, but apparently your repository is making Git
spend a lot more than that. Puzzled...
