Re: git 'new' alias

(which, I've just discovered, should be written as

[alias]
        one = "!f() { r=$1; shift; echo $r@{1}..$r@{0} "$@"; }; f"

otherwise "git config" messes up with the ; in the line)

The original intent was mis-specified ;-).

I think I originally made the alias to do

git new # give me new stuff on current branch git new origin/master # same, for origin/master

and tried to enrich it to allow

git new master --oneline

without thinking about what

git new --oneline

should do (and obviously, without really testing it, I guess I had one version of the alias allowing each senario, and none allowing all of them).

I now have this, which is really ugly in a config file, but does the DWIMery I want:

	new = "!f () { if echo \"$1\" | grep -q -e '^-' -e '^$'; then r=; else r=$1; shift; fi; git log $r@{1}..$r@{0} \"$@\"; } && f"

(this one has even been vaguely tested ;-) )
