19 For every change you make and commit, you should provide\r
20 a log message for that change. That way you can later find out\r
21 what changes you made and why, and you have a detailed log for\r
22 your development process.\r
23 </para>\r
24 <para>\r
25 The Revision Log Dialog retrieves all those log messages and shows them\r
26 to you.\r
27 The display is divided into 3 panes.\r
28 <itemizedlist>\r
29 <listitem>\r
30 <para>\r
31 The top pane shows a list of revisions where changes to the\r
32 file/folder have been committed. This summary includes the\r
33 date and time, the person who committed the revision and the\r
34 start of the log message.\r
35 </para>\r

37 Lines shown in bold indicate that that is HEAD commit.\r

43 revision.\r

49 were changed as part of the selected revision.\r

53 But it does much more than that - it provides context menu\r
54 commands which you can use to get even more information about the\r

109 The top pane of the Log dialog has a context menu that allows you to\r

120 is supplied with TortoiseGit.\r

573 <para>\r
574 If you want to restrict the log messages to show only those\r
575 you are interested in rather than scrolling through a list\r
576 of hundreds, you can use the filter controls at the top of\r
577 the Log Dialog. The start and end date controls allow you\r
578 to restrict the output to a known date range. The search\r
579 box allows you to show only messages which contain a\r
580 particular phrase.\r
581 </para>\r
582 <para>\r
583 Click on the search icon to select which information you want\r
584 to search in, and to choose <emphasis>regex</emphasis> mode.\r
585 Normally you will only need a simple text search, but if you\r
586 need to more flexible search terms, you can use regular expressions.\r
587 If you hover the mouse over the box, a tooltip will give hints\r
588 on how to use the regex functions.\r
589 You can also find online documentation and a tutorial at\r
590 <ulink url="http://www.regular-expressions.info/">\r
591 <citetitle>http://www.regular-expressions.info/</citetitle>\r
592 </ulink>.\r
593 The filter works by checking whether your filter string matches\r
594 the log entries, and then only those entries which <emphasis>match</emphasis>\r
595 the filter string are shown.\r
596 </para>\r
597 <para>\r
598 To make the filter show all log entries that do <emphasis>not</emphasis>\r
599 match the filter string, start the string with an exclamation mark ('!').\r
600 For example, a filter string <literal>!username</literal> will only\r
601 show those entries which were not committed by <literal>username</literal>.\r

608 You can also filter the path names in the bottom pane using the\r

610 Related paths are those which contain the path used to display\r
611 the log. If you fetch the log for a folder, that means anything\r
612 in that folder or below it. For a file it means just that one file.\r
613 The checkbox is tristate: you can show all paths, grey out the\r
614 unrelated ones, or hide the unrelated paths completely.\r

636 The <guibutton>Statistics</guibutton> button brings up a box\r
637 showing some interesting information about the revisions\r
638 shown in the Log dialog. This shows how many authors have\r
639 been at work, how many commits they have made, progress\r
640 by week, and much more. Now you can see at a glance who\r
641 has been working hardest and who is slacking ;-)\r

667 Where there are a few major authors and many minor contributors,\r
668 the number of tiny segments can make the graph more difficult to\r
669 read. The slider at the bottom allows you to set a threshold\r
670 (as a percentage of total commits) below which any activity is\r
671 grouped into an <emphasis>Others</emphasis> category.\r

681 This page gives you a graphical representation of project\r
682 activity in terms of number of commits <emphasis>and</emphasis>\r
683 author. This gives some idea of when a project is being worked\r
684 on, and who was working at which time.\r

686 <para>\r
687 When there are several authors, you will get many lines on the\r
688 graph. There are two views available here: <emphasis>normal</emphasis>,\r
689 where each author's activity is relative to the base line, and\r
690 <emphasis>stacked</emphasis>, where each author's activity is\r
691 relative to the line underneath.\r
692 The latter option avoids the lines crossing over, which can make\r
693 the graph easier to read, but less easy to see one author's output.\r
694 </para>\r

696 <para>\r
697 By default the analysis is case-sensitive, so users\r
698 <literal>PeterEgan</literal> and <literal>PeteRegan</literal>\r
699 are treated as different authors. However, in many cases user names\r
700 are not case-sensitive, and are sometimes entered inconsistently,\r
701 so you may want <literal>DavidMorgan</literal> and\r
702 <literal>davidmorgan</literal> to be treated as the same person.\r
703 Use the <guilabel>Authors case insensitive</guilabel> checkbox\r
704 to control how this is handled.\r

707 Note that the statistics cover the same period as the\r
