Subject: bug#4497: 23.1; vc-print-log -vs- very long log files
Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2009 12:53:19 -0600

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:


I invoked vc-print-log from vc-dir on the emacs git repository.
This generates an extremely large amount of data.
I couldn't find a way to interrupt the log generation; I ended up
killing git directly from the shell.

It would be nice if VC were smarter about limiting the amount of log
output.  I am not sure exactly how I would want this to work, but at
least by default I probably don't want more than a couple megabytes of
output.


If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.1/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
