The one piece of information that I often want is the SHA1 of the commit that is currently being applied. Currently I have to look through my scrollback for the "stopping" message or poke around in .git/. Having that in the output of "git status" would be really nice, but the output format you've posted is a big improvement over what we have at the moment for this case. Actually, the same applies for cherry-pick and revert when they have been given a range - showing the commit that is currently being applied in "git status" would be nice there as well. -- 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
