Unfortunately in this case I think you\nmight want to try to find another micro-project.\n\nThanks,\nChristian.\n"},{"id":"361388","messageId":"20181024081922.GA31885@sigill.intra.peff.net","threadId":"49605","inReplyTo":"CAP8UFD3CDwu7OVgVmEgP2Se_bxYszcze68_bXT7=wgZaxncpzg@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: How to start contributing","fromName":"Jeff King","fromEmail":"peff@peff.net","sentAt":"2018-10-24T08:19:22Z","receivedAt":"2018-10-24T08:19:26Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"peff@peff.net","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/45925?v=4"},"body":"On Sat, Oct 20, 2018 at 08:47:35AM +0200, Christian Couder wrote:\n\n> > Make “git tag –contains <id>” less chatty if <id> is invalid\n> > “git tag – contains <id>” prints the whole help text if <id> is\n> > invalid.

Even though it may\nnot have been what _I_ would have done personally, I don't think it is\nworth anybody spending more brain cycles on it.\n\n-Peff\n"}]}
