It's still there. Oh beautiful. I had an old (as in 3 months max, but heh) git-tree at work in a corner from which I had compiled git. When I saw it didn't have git show which I have at home I did a git pull, recompile, reinstall. The new git didn't have git show, so I thought it had been removed after all. Turns out, the git pull had broken halfway due to the old version of git. It hadn't fast forwarded _all_ the versions. But the new git, while not current, has been able to do the complete git pull this time. And now I have git show at work too. Guess you have to update git every month or so if you want to be able to follow current trees. OG.
