Emacs + git-show

FAST and descriptive file search throughout your git(1) repo's history.

This mode exists to allow emacs(1) execute git-show(1) processes dumping the results into a buffer attempting to use its same mode. For example; if the requested file is a shell script, it will open the new buffer is sh-mode.

Functions:

M-x git-show

Searches for files from the git(1) repos history using their SHAs and will also display them using their defined modes (via auto-mode-alist var).

M-x git-show-rm-tmp

Removes the temp directory /tmp/git-show/ (where temp files are stored).
