[>=0.10.0] Argument --processed stopped producing healthy output

[oCCtet]

What is the purpose of --processed option nowadays? It used to output the big picture in the requested format; v1.2.0 outputs a Python bytes literal which IMHO makes no sense. Please see below:

$ ./git-big-picture-v0.9.0 --format=svg -pVO | xmllint -noout -
$ git big-picture --format=svg -pVO | xmllint -noout -
-:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found
b'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>\n<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "
^

I found the old behavior useful and sane.

Hi @oCCtet , thanks for bringing this to attention. I confirm this behavior as a bug. My guess is that it's a regression from the migration to Python 3. I'm optimistic this can be fixed shortly.

Please note that use of versions <1.0.0 is not advised today because these are vulnerable to security issue CVE-2021-3028. (In case that was your plan for a workaround while waiting for the fix.)
