Subject: [PATCH] cg-log: Remove unpleasant DEL characters.
Message-ID: <20060331000813.18895.46855.stgit@metalzone.distorted.org.uk>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20060331000813.18895.46855.stgit%40metalzone.distorted.org.uk

```
From: Mark Wooding <mdw@distorted.org.uk>

There's a Bash bug (I'm running 3.1.5(1)-release from Debian testing) as
follows:

  $ foo=@; echo "<${foo:1}>" | cat -v
  <^?>

Without this fix, less gives me ugly standout `^?' markers for every
blank line in a commit message.
