May I suggest you consider > using "git diff --name-status" or just "git status" next time? My tests show that "git ls-files -douvm" is faster than "git diff --name-status". "git status" doesn't fit, because it's porcelain (btw, git diff is also porcelain) and its output may change in time; "git status --porcelain" appeared only in 1.7.0, so I can't use it to work with older Git. ---------------------------------- Kirill Likhodedov JetBrains, Inc http://www.jetbrains.com "Develop with pleasure!"
