For our workflow, author dates aren't very useful. I'm looking for a way to configure Git so that "git log" shows commit dates instead of author dates. "--pretty=fuller" gets me almost what I want, but I'd like to avoid the extra two lines if possible.
I tried achieving this by putting a custom format string in ~/.gitconfig: [format] pretty = "%C(auto,yellow)commit %C(auto)%H\nAuthor: %an <%ae>\nDate: %cd\n\n%w(0,4,4)%B" This works pretty well, but has a few corner cases. When you do "git log --decorate", the default format decorates commits with ref names. I can add "%d" to my format string, but then the ref names show up all the time, even without "--decorate". The "--walk-reflogs" option presents a similar problem. The %g* placeholders all become empty strings when "--walk-reflogs" isn't present, which is sort of what I want, but it leaves extra blank lines in the output. Is it possible to exactly replicate the default "git log" format with a format string? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
