While I fully agree with the above conclusion, I just noticed that I will be irritated enough to eventually set pager.blame myself, after running a short "git blame -L1311,+7 git-p4.py", which is one of the standard first steps for me to start reading patches submit on the list. Even with line wrapping, the output fits on a single page, so "F" (aka "--quit-if-one-screen") kicks in, before giving me a chance to scroll horizontally around. Not objecting to the conclusion of the discussion with a concrete counterproposal. Just hoping somebody clever enough might come up with a good trick to make things easier to use and explain, which I however suspect may be an incompatible pair of goals. -- 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
