Subject: [PATCH] support: git show --follow-symlinks HEAD:symlink
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2018 21:48:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180413194829.23990-1-mvo@ubuntu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87h8oegavn.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com>
Add support for the `--follow-symlinks` options to git-show. This
allows to write:
git show --follow-symlink HEAD:path-a-symlink
to get the content of the symlinked file.
