Also not what the FM says: "Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown." . Not one commit, but any (i.e. all) commits. Of course, that's all dependent on knowing what "ref name" means. I suppose you're going to tell me next that only the first commit actually has a "ref name" (whatever that is). But if you do, it would be really nice if you could explain what is meant by "ref name", or even point me at a non content-free definition. :-) > Andreas. > -- > Andreas Schwab, schwab@linux-m68k.org > GPG Key fingerprint = 58CA 54C7 6D53 942B 1756 01D3 44D5 214B 8276 4ED5 > "And now for something completely different." -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
