Yea, That's what Eric was saying, I even made changes which sum up to what you're saying :) > I found a segfault while testing: > > $ git for-each-ref --format > 'x=%(if)%(align:10)%(end)%(then)%(align:10)XXX%(end)%(else)%(end)' --shell > zsh: segmentation fault > I wouldn't worry about this ATM, I have made so many changes that the tip is barely changed to reflect those, though I'll have a look at it :) -- Regards, Karthik Nayak -- 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
