OK, I restored the original behaviour for "git remote show", patch will follow. But for "git remote prune" I don't no what to do. The perl script behaviour was to delete all refs for the remote when called with -n. It seems really dangerous to me, especially if I have no connection to restore them. The current builtin doesn't honor the flag and with my patch it just does nothing. So, do you prefere that I remove the documentation for git remote prune -n or restore the old behaviour that was probably never used (but maybe I'm wrong)? Olivier.
