When showing an annotated tag, "git show" will always display the pointed-to object. However, it didn't separate the two with whitespace, making it more difficult to notice where the new object started. For example: $ git tag -m 'my message' foo $ git show foo tag foo Tagger: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Date: Fri Jul 17 18:46:25 2009 -0400 my message commit 41cabf8fed2694ba33e01d64f9094f2fc5e5805a Author: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Date: Thu Jul 16 17:31:34 2009 -0400 ... This patch respects and sets the rev.shown_one member to prepend a blank line before showing a second item. We use this member of rev_info instead of a local flag, because the log_tree_commit we call into for showing commits already respects and sets that flag. Meaning that everything will be spaced properly if you intermix commits and tags, like: $ git show v1.6.3 v1.6.2 HEAD In that case, a single blank line will separate the first tag, the commit it points to, the second tag, the commit that one points to, and the final commit. While we're at it, let's also support trees, so that even something as crazy as $ git show HEAD^{tree} HEAD~1^{tree} HEAD will also be spaced in an easy-to-read way. However, we intentionally do _not_ insert blank lines for blobs, so that specifying multiple blobs gives a strict concatenation.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
