Subject: How to get status-like short format for old commits?
Piotr KrukowieckiHi,
I there a way to get a clear status of some past commits, like 'git status' shows for current index/HEAD? I.e. something like
git status HEAD^ # modified: Makefile # deleted: t/t0080-vcs-svn.sh # new file: t/t9011-svn-da.sh # renamed: xxx -> yyy
Thanks,

You might want git log --name-status. It will show something similar as git status -s. (so with A,M,D etc. as status).

Yeah, the code to print the verbose "modified: foo.c" style is specific to status. We could refactor it to be a new generic diff output type, which would not be that hard. In practice, though, I think people choose either "--stat --summary" if they want to show to a person (it's a superset of what status shows, because it also contains the number of lines changed for each file), or "--raw" if they need something machine-readable.
Does one of those work for you? If not, it might be a fun and relatively simple exercise to create a --verbose-name-status that looks like the output of "git status" (you could also do it by post-processing --name-status output, but that is less fun and more hacky :) ).
