Subject: git rev-list with --name-status?
Message-ID: <2729632a0812241453x4ae50362g4bcd3317e5be0429@mail.gmail.com>

Is there a way to print the equivalent of --name-status with git
rev-list? The post-receive script that comes with git for sending
comment emails does this to generate the commit log:

git rev-parse --not --branches | grep -v $(git rev-parse $refname) |
	git rev-list --pretty --stdin $oldrev..$newrev

I'd like to also include the output of --name-status so the email
shows which files were changed by each commit (rather than just a
summary at the end since our pushes sometimes have a lot of commits in
them).

git rev-list doesn't seem to support --name-status and git log doesn't
seem to support --stdin. Is there a better way to do what I want?
