2 Show blank SHA-1 for boundary commits. This can also
3 be controlled via the `blame.blankboundary` config option.
6 Do not treat root commits as boundaries. This can also be
7 controlled via the `blame.showRoot` config option.
10 Include additional statistics at the end of blame output.
14 Annotate only the given line range. May be specified multiple times.
15 Overlapping ranges are allowed.
17 <start> and <end> are optional. ``-L <start>'' or ``-L <start>,'' spans from
18 <start> to end of file. ``-L ,<end>'' spans from start of file to <end>.
20 include::line-range-format.txt[]
23 Show long rev (Default: off).
26 Show raw timestamp (Default: off).
29 Use revisions from revs-file instead of calling linkgit:git-rev-list[1].
32 Walk history forward instead of backward. Instead of showing
33 the revision in which a line appeared, this shows the last
34 revision in which a line has existed. This requires a range of
35 revision like START..END where the path to blame exists in
40 Show in a format designed for machine consumption.
43 Show the porcelain format, but output commit information for
44 each line, not just the first time a commit is referenced.
48 Show the result incrementally in a format designed for
51 --encoding=<encoding>::
52 Specifies the encoding used to output author names
53 and commit summaries. Setting it to `none` makes blame
54 output unconverted data. For more information see the
55 discussion about encoding in the linkgit:git-log[1]
59 When <rev> is not specified, the command annotates the
60 changes starting backwards from the working tree copy.
61 This flag makes the command pretend as if the working
62 tree copy has the contents of the named file (specify
63 `-` to make the command read from the standard input).
66 Specifies the format used to output dates. If --date is not
67 provided, the value of the blame.date config variable is
68 used. If the blame.date config variable is also not set, the
69 iso format is used. For supported values, see the discussion
70 of the --date option at linkgit:git-log[1].
73 Detect moved or copied lines within a file. When a commit
74 moves or copies a block of lines (e.g. the original file
75 has A and then B, and the commit changes it to B and then
76 A), the traditional 'blame' algorithm notices only half of
77 the movement and typically blames the lines that were moved
78 up (i.e. B) to the parent and assigns blame to the lines that
79 were moved down (i.e. A) to the child commit. With this
80 option, both groups of lines are blamed on the parent by
81 running extra passes of inspection.
83 <num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
84 alphanumeric characters that Git must detect as moving/copying
85 within a file for it to associate those lines with the parent
86 commit. The default value is 20.
89 In addition to `-M`, detect lines moved or copied from other
90 files that were modified in the same commit. This is
91 useful when you reorganize your program and move code
92 around across files. When this option is given twice,
93 the command additionally looks for copies from other
94 files in the commit that creates the file. When this
95 option is given three times, the command additionally
96 looks for copies from other files in any commit.
98 <num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
99 alphanumeric characters that Git must detect as moving/copying
100 between files for it to associate those lines with the parent
101 commit. And the default value is 40. If there are more than one
102 `-C` options given, the <num> argument of the last `-C` will
