I am looking for a simple git command that provides a nicely formatted list of all files that were part of the commit given by a hash (SHA1), with no extraneous
git
A combination of "git show --stat" (thanks Ryan) and a couple of sed commands should trim the data down for you:
git show --stat
git show --stat | sed -n "/ [\w]\*|/p" | sed "s/|.\*$//"
That will produce just the list of modified files.
