i'm aware of things like "git cat-file -p" and so on, but is there some magic incantation to display the git object store graphically/hierarchically? when i teach git, one of the first demos is to create a new repo, add two files, stage and commit, at which point one points out that that created 4 objects in the object store: * 2 blobs * 1 tree * 1 commit but it would be useful to be able to *see* the underlying structure so the class can be truly convinced as to what just happened. is there some way to do that? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
