I think both versions are not so different. You have %(if) on one format strings that would be disabled by construction on the second. For example, adding %(if)%(HEAD)%(then)%(HEAD) at the start of the format-string for remotes would be a no-op, right? And in case a local branch is a symref, "git branch" displays "-> ..." both for local and for remotes. You just normally don't have local symref branches other than HEAD, but I tried: $ git checkout -b branch $ cat .git/HEAD > .git/refs/heads/symref $ git branch -a * branch master symref -> branch The only remaining difference I see are the "remotes/" prefix and colors. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
