In git-log.txt, we have an instance of \--, which is known to sometimes render badly. This one is even worse than normal though, since ``\-- '' (with or without that trailing space) appears to be entirely broken, both in HTML and manpages, both with AsciiDoc (version 8.6.9) and Asciidoctor (version 1.5.4). Further down in git-log.txt we have a ``--'', which renders good. In git-shortlog.txt, we use "\-- " (including the quotes and the space), which happens to look fairly good. I failed to find any other similar instances. So all in all, we quote a double-dash in three different places and do it differently each time, with various degrees of success. Switch all of these to `--`. This sets the double-dash in monospace and matches what we usually do with example command line usages and options. Note that we drop the trailing space as well, since `-- ` does not render well. These should still be clear enough since just a few lines above each instance, the space is clearly visible in a longer context. Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren <martin.agren@gmail.com>

NAME

|
----
|
|
git-log - Show commit logs
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git log' [<options>] [<revision range>] [[--] <path>...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Shows the commit logs.
|
|
|
|
The command takes options applicable to the `git rev-list`
|
|
command to control what is shown and how, and options applicable to
|
|
the `git diff-*` commands to control how the changes
|
|
each commit introduces are shown.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
--follow::
|
|
Continue listing the history of a file beyond renames
|
|
(works only for a single file).
|
|
|
|
--no-decorate::
|
|
--decorate[=short|full|auto|no]::
|
|
Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown. If 'short' is
|
|
specified, the ref name prefixes 'refs/heads/', 'refs/tags/' and
|
|
'refs/remotes/' will not be printed. If 'full' is specified, the
|
|
full ref name (including prefix) will be printed. If 'auto' is
|
|
specified, then if the output is going to a terminal, the ref names
|
|
are shown as if 'short' were given, otherwise no ref names are
|
|
shown. The default option is 'short'.
|
|
|
|
--decorate-refs=<pattern>::
|
|
--decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>::
|
|
If no `--decorate-refs` is given, pretend as if all refs were
|
|
included. For each candidate, do not use it for decoration if it
|
|
matches any patterns given to `--decorate-refs-exclude` or if it
|
|
doesn't match any of the patterns given to `--decorate-refs`.
|
|
|
|
--source::
|
|
Print out the ref name given on the command line by which each
|
|
commit was reached.
|
|
|
|
--use-mailmap::
|
|
Use mailmap file to map author and committer names and email
|
|
addresses to canonical real names and email addresses. See
|
|
linkgit:git-shortlog[1].
|
|
|
|
--full-diff::
|
|
Without this flag, `git log -p <path>...` shows commits that
|
|
touch the specified paths, and diffs about the same specified
|
|
paths. With this, the full diff is shown for commits that touch
|
|
the specified paths; this means that "<path>..." limits only
|
|
commits, and doesn't limit diff for those commits.
|
|
+
|
|
Note that this affects all diff-based output types, e.g. those
|
|
produced by `--stat`, etc.
|
|
|
|
--log-size::
|
|
Include a line ``log size <number>'' in the output for each commit,
|
|
where <number> is the length of that commit's message in bytes.
|
|
Intended to speed up tools that read log messages from `git log`
|
|
output by allowing them to allocate space in advance.
|
|
|
|
-L <start>,<end>:<file>::
|
|
-L :<funcname>:<file>::
|
|
Trace the evolution of the line range given by "<start>,<end>"
|
|
(or the function name regex <funcname>) within the <file>. You may
|
|
not give any pathspec limiters. This is currently limited to
|
|
a walk starting from a single revision, i.e., you may only
|
|
give zero or one positive revision arguments.
|
|
You can specify this option more than once.
|
|
+
|
|
include::line-range-format.txt[]
|
|
|
|
<revision range>::
|
|
Show only commits in the specified revision range. When no
|
|
<revision range> is specified, it defaults to `HEAD` (i.e. the
|
|
whole history leading to the current commit). `origin..HEAD`
|
|
specifies all the commits reachable from the current commit
|
|
(i.e. `HEAD`), but not from `origin`. For a complete list of
|
|
ways to spell <revision range>, see the 'Specifying Ranges'
|
|
section of linkgit:gitrevisions[7].
|
|
|
|
[--] <path>...::
|
|
Show only commits that are enough to explain how the files
|
|
that match the specified paths came to be. See 'History
|
|
Simplification' below for details and other simplification
|
|
modes.
|
|
+
|
|
Paths may need to be prefixed with `--` to separate them from
|
|
options or the revision range, when confusion arises.

EXAMPLES
|
|
--------
|
|
`git log --no-merges`::
|
|
|
|
Show the whole commit history, but skip any merges
|
|
|
|
`git log v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi`::
|
|
|
|
Show all commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed any file
|
|
in the `include/scsi` or `drivers/scsi` subdirectories
|
|
|
|
`git log --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk`::
|
|
|
|
Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'.
|
|
The `--` is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named
|
|
'gitk'
|
|
|
|
`git log --name-status release..test`::
|
|
|
|
Show the commits that are in the "test" branch but not yet
|
|
in the "release" branch, along with the list of paths
|
|
each commit modifies.
|
|
|
|
`git log --follow builtin/rev-list.c`::
|
|
|
|
Shows the commits that changed `builtin/rev-list.c`, including
|
|
those commits that occurred before the file was given its
|
|
present name.
|
|
|
|
`git log --branches --not --remotes=origin`::
|
|
|
|
Shows all commits that are in any of local branches but not in
|
|
any of remote-tracking branches for 'origin' (what you have that
|
|
origin doesn't).
|
|
|
|
`git log master --not --remotes=*/master`::
|
|
|
|
Shows all commits that are in local master but not in any remote
|
|
repository master branches.
|
|
|
|
`git log -p -m --first-parent`::
|
|
|
|
Shows the history including change diffs, but only from the
|
|
``main branch'' perspective, skipping commits that come from merged
|
|
branches, and showing full diffs of changes introduced by the merges.
|
|
This makes sense only when following a strict policy of merging all
|
|
topic branches when staying on a single integration branch.
|
|
|
|
`git log -L '/int main/',/^}/:main.c`::
|
|
|
|
Shows how the function `main()` in the file `main.c` evolved
|
|
over time.
|
|
|
|
`git log -3`::
|
|
|
|
Limits the number of commits to show to 3.

|
CONFIGURATION
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
See linkgit:git-config[1] for core variables and linkgit:git-diff[1]
|
|
for settings related to diff generation.
|
|
|
|
format.pretty::
|
|
Default for the `--format` option. (See 'Pretty Formats' above.)
|
|
Defaults to `medium`.
|
|
|
|
i18n.logOutputEncoding::
|
|
Encoding to use when displaying logs. (See 'Discussion' above.)
|
|
Defaults to the value of `i18n.commitEncoding` if set, and UTF-8
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
|
|
log.date::
|
|
Default format for human-readable dates. (Compare the
|
|
`--date` option.) Defaults to "default", which means to write
|
|
dates like `Sat May 8 19:35:34 2010 -0500`.
|
|
|
|
log.follow::
|
|
If `true`, `git log` will act as if the `--follow` option was used when
|
|
a single <path> is given. This has the same limitations as `--follow`,
|
|
i.e. it cannot be used to follow multiple files and does not work well
|
|
on non-linear history.
|
|
|
|
log.showRoot::
|
|
If `false`, `git log` and related commands will not treat the
|
|
initial commit as a big creation event. Any root commits in
|
|
`git log -p` output would be shown without a diff attached.
|
|
The default is `true`.
|
|
|
|
log.showSignature::
|
|
If `true`, `git log` and related commands will act as if the
|
|
`--show-signature` option was passed to them.
|
|
|
|
mailmap.*::
|
|
See linkgit:git-shortlog[1].
|
|
|
|
notes.displayRef::
|
|
Which refs, in addition to the default set by `core.notesRef`
|
|
or `GIT_NOTES_REF`, to read notes from when showing commit
|
|
messages with the `log` family of commands. See
|
|
linkgit:git-notes[1].
|
|
+
|
|
May be an unabbreviated ref name or a glob and may be specified
|
|
multiple times. A warning will be issued for refs that do not exist,
|
|
but a glob that does not match any refs is silently ignored.
|
|
+
|
|
This setting can be disabled by the `--no-notes` option,
|
|
overridden by the `GIT_NOTES_DISPLAY_REF` environment variable,
|
|
and overridden by the `--notes=<ref>` option.
