Subject: [Patch v8 2/6] cli: Let json output "null" messages for non
	--entire-thread
Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:21:43 +0100
Message-Id: <1339842107-10632-3-git-send-email-markwalters1009@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <1339842107-10632-1-git-send-email-markwalters1009@gmail.com>

Precedence: list

All formats except Json can output empty messages for non
entire-thread, but in Json format we output "null" to keep the other
elements (e.g. the replies to the omitted message) in the correct
place.
