I already implemented this without using any git code at https://github.com/novalis/the_silver_searcher. The patch was rejected because it slowed down ag slightly (or perhaps because it was overly complex). -- 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
