2021-06-08doc/log: correct default for --decorateLibravatar Đoàn Trần Công Danh1-1/+3
There're two different default options for log --decorate: * Should `--decorate` be given without any arguments, it's default to `short` * Should neither `--decorate` nor `--no-decorate` be given, it's default to the `log.decorate` or `auto`. We documented the former, but not the latter. Let's document them, too.

The description of the '-L' option for `git log` and `gitk` is almost the same, but is repeated in both 'git-log.txt' and 'gitk.txt' (the difference being that 'git-log.txt' lists the option with a space after '-L', while 'gitk.txt' lists it as stuck and notes that `gitk` only understands the stuck form). Reduce duplication by creating a new file, 'line-range-options.txt', and include it in both files. To simplify the presentation, only list the stuck form for both commands, and remove the note about `gitk` only understanding the stuck form.

2020-08-17Merge branch 'so/log-diff-merges-opt'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+5
Earlier, to countermand the implicit "-m" option when the "--first-parent" option is used with "git log", we added the "--[no-]diff-merges" option in the jk/log-fp-implies-m topic. To leave the door open to allow the "--diff-merges" option to take values that instructs how patches for merge commits should be computed (e.g. "cc"? "-p against first parent?"), redefine "--diff-merges" to take non-optional value, and implement "off" that means the same thing as "--no-diff-merges". * so/log-diff-merges-opt: t/t4013: add test for --diff-merges=off doc/git-log: describe --diff-merges=off revision: change "--diff-merges" option to require parameter

It can be surprising that git-log doesn't show any diff for merge commits by default. Arguably "--cc" would be a reasonable default, but it's very expensive (which is why we turn it on for "git show" but not for "git log").

2020-07-29doc/git-log: move "-t" into diff-options listLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+0
The "-t" option is infrequently used; it doesn't deserve a spot near the top of the options list. Let's push it down into the diff-options include, near the definition of --raw. We'll protect it with a git-log ifdef, since it doesn't make any sense for non-tree diff commands. Note that this means it also shows up in git-show, but that's a good thing; it applies equally well there. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2020-07-29doc/git-log: move "Diff Formatting" from rev-list-optionsLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+40
Our rev-list-options.txt include has a "Diff Formatting" section, but it is ifndef'd out for all manpages except git-log. And a few bits of the text are rather out of date. We say "some of these options are specific to git-rev-list". That's obviously silly since we (even before this patch) show the content only for git-log. But moreover, it's not true; each of the listed options is meaningful for other diff commands. We also say "...however other diff options may be given. See git-diff-files for more options." But there's no need to do so; git-log already has a "Common Diff Options" section which includes diff-options.txt. So let's move these options over to git-log and put them with the other diff options, giving a single "diff" section for the git-log documentation. We'll call it "Diff Formatting" but use the all-caps top-level header to match its sibling sections. And we'll rewrite the section intro to remove the useless bits and give a more generic overview of the section which can be later extended.

2020-04-28Merge branch 'ds/log-exclude-decoration-config'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+4
The "--decorate-refs" and "--decorate-refs-exclude" options "git log" takes have learned a companion configuration variable log.excludeDecoration that sits at the lowest priority in the family. * ds/log-exclude-decoration-config: log: add log.excludeDecoration config option log-tree: make ref_filter_match() a helper method
2020-04-16log: add log.excludeDecoration config optionLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-1/+4
In 'git log', the --decorate-refs-exclude option appends a pattern to a string_list. This list is used to prevent showing some refs in the decoration output, or even by --simplify-by-decoration. Users may want to use their refs space to store utility refs that should not appear in the decoration output. For example, Scalar [1] runs a background fetch but places the "new" refs inside the refs/scalar/hidden/<remote>/* refspace instead of refs/<remote>/* to avoid updating remote refs when the user is not looking. However, these "hidden" refs appear during regular 'git log' queries. A similar idea to use "hidden" refs is under consideration for core Git [2]. Add the 'log.excludeDecoration' config option so users can exclude some refs from decorations by default instead of needing to use --decorate-refs-exclude manually. The config value is multi-valued much like the command-line option. The documentation is careful to point out that the config value can be overridden by the --decorate-refs option, even though --decorate-refs-exclude would always "win" over --decorate-refs. Since the 'log.excludeDecoration' takes lower precedence to --decorate-refs, and --decorate-refs-exclude takes higher precedence, the struct decoration_filter needed another field. This led also to new logic in load_ref_decorations() and ref_filter_match(). There are several tests in t4202-log.sh that test the --decorate-refs-(include|exclude) options, so these are extended. Since the expected output is already stored as a file, most tests could simply replace a "--decorate-refs-exclude" option with an in-line config setting. Other tests involve the precedence of the config option compared to command-line options and needed more modification.

Display date and time information in a format similar to how people write dates in other contexts. If the year isn't specified then, the reader infers the date is given is in the current year. By not displaying the redundant information, the reader concentrates on the information that is different. The patch reports relative dates based on information inferred from the date on the machine running the git command at the time the command is executed. While the format is more useful to humans by dropping inferred information, there is nothing that makes it actually human. If the 'relative' date format wasn't already implemented then using 'relative' would have been appropriate. Signed-off-by: Stephen P.

2018-04-18git-[short]log.txt: unify quoted standalone --Libravatar Martin Ågren1-2/+2
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>
2018-04-18doc: convert [\--] to [--]Libravatar Martin Ågren1-2/+2
Commit 1c262bb7b (doc: convert \--option to --option, 2015-05-13) explains that we used to need to write \--option to play well with older versions of AsciiDoc, but that we do not support such versions anymore anyway, and that Asciidoctor literally renders \--. With [\--], which is used to denote the optional separator between revisions and paths, Asciidoctor renders the backslash literally. Change all [\--] to [--]. This changes nothing for AsciiDoc version 8.6.9, but is an improvement for Asciidoctor version 1.5.4. We use double-dashes in several list entries (\--::). In my testing, it appears that we do need to use the backslash there, so leave those. Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren <martin.agren@gmail.com>
2017-11-22log: add option to choose which refs to decorateLibravatar Rafael Ascensão1-0/+7
When `log --decorate` is used, git will decorate commits with all available refs. While in most cases this may give the desired effect, under some conditions it can lead to excessively verbose output. Introduce two command line options, `--decorate-refs=<pattern>` and `--decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>` to allow the user to select which refs are used in decoration. When "--decorate-refs=<pattern>" is given, only the refs that match the pattern are used in decoration. The refs that match the pattern when "--decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>" is given, are never used in decoration. These options follow the same convention for mixing negative and positive patterns across the system, assuming that the inclusive default is to match all refs available. (1) if there is no positive pattern given, pretend as if an inclusive default positive pattern was given; (2) for each candidate, reject it if it matches no positive pattern, or if it matches any one of the negative patterns. The rules for what is considered a match are slightly different from the rules used elsewhere. Commands like `log --glob` assume a trailing '/*' when glob chars are not present in the pattern. This makes it difficult to specify a single ref. On the other hand, commands like `describe --match --all` allow specifying exact refs, but do not have the convenience of allowing "shorthand refs" like 'refs/heads' or 'heads' to refer to 'refs/heads/*'. The commands introduced in this patch consider a match if: (a) the pattern contains globs chars, and regular pattern matching returns a match. (b) the pattern does not contain glob chars, and ref '<pattern>' exists, or if ref exists under '<pattern>/' This allows both behaviours (allowing single refs and shorthand refs) yet remaining compatible with existent commands.

2013-04-22git-log(1): remove --full-line-diff descriptionLibravatar Thomas Rast1-4/+0
This option is a remnant of an earlier log -L version, and not currently implemented. Remove it until (if at all) it is implemented again. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@inf.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-04-21git-log.txt: rewrite note on why "--" may be requiredLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-2/+2
In its current form, the note talks about separating options from "branch names" and "refnames" in the same sentence. This is entirely inaccurate, as <revision range> need not be a set of branch names or ref names. Rewrite it to use the word "revision range", to be consistent with the SYNOPSIS.

2013-04-21git-log.txt: generalize <since>..<until>Libravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-7/+9
'<since>..<until>' is misleading, as there are many other forms that 'git log' can accept as an argument. Replace it with <revision range>, referring to the section "Specifying Ranges" in revisions.txt, and rewrite the section appropriately.
