Ok -- perhaps that was a bit of a rushed statement. Reading back on the archives, it seems like it may have been intentional. The new header format is more succint, but while technically I can fish the data at the porcelain layer, it is quite convenient to get it directly from the commit header. Specially given that git-log has the info at that time...

I have to confess, I don't quite follow the changes happening in that series of commits. If --parents is really not coming back I'll change the log entry parsing in cvsserver. However, I suspect git-log should error out on it ("fatal: deprecated option") so porcelains break explicitly, rather than silently.

cheers,
martin
