Non default number of + digits can be specified with "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies + diff output, if it is displayed). ++ +This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for +people using 80-column terminals. + +--encoding[=<encoding>]:: + The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message + in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the + command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding + preferred by the user. For non plumbing commands this + defaults to UTF-8. |
