Well, that's only because I'm running a hand-installed git rather than what RHEL6 comes with. > Maybe an option is to use trunc when git 1.8.3 or newer is detected, and > plain (no trunc) otherwise? Personally I find that truncated output to be pretty unreadable, and would strongly object to changing git_changelog so that that was the only possible format. However, I have no objection to making it an option ("git_changelog --short", or so), and that would dodge any concerns about failing on git versions without the feature. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
