From 22dfa8a23de4bbb274027736edd3bd311dda2981 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Junghans Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2015 18:33:32 -0700 Subject: log: teach --invert-grep option "git log --grep=" shows only commits with messages that match the given string, but sometimes it is useful to be able to show only commits that do *not* have certain messages (e.g. "show me ones that are not FIXUP commits"). Originally, we had the invert-grep flag in grep_opt, but because "git grep --invert-grep" does not make sense except in conjunction with "--files-with-matches", which is already covered by "--files-without-matches", it was moved it to revisions structure. To have the flag there expresses the function to the feature better. When the newly inserted two tests run, the history would have commits with messages "initial", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth", "sixth" and "Second", committed in this order. The commits that does not match either "th" or "Sec" is "second" and "initial". For the case insensitive case only "initial" matches.
