# Re: [PATCH] Improve git-prune -n output 2 messages from 2006-11-02 to 2006-11-03. Participants: Junio C Hamano, Andy Parkins. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/43334 ## Andy Parkins, 2006-11-02 11:12 Subject: [PATCH] Improve git-prune -n output Message-ID: <200611021112.26420.andyparkins@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/200611021112.26420.andyparkins%40gmail.com ``` prune_object() in show_only mode would previously just show the path to the object that would be deleted. The path the object is stored in shouldn't be shown to users, they only know about sha1 identifiers so show that instead. Further, the sha1 alone isn't that useful for examining what is going to be deleted. This patch also adds the object type to the output, which makes it easy to pick out, say, the commits and use git-show to display them.

I am inclined to take this output format change, so if you are going to holler please do so fast. ```
