4 If the commit is a merge, and if the pretty-format
5 is not 'oneline', 'email' or 'raw', an additional line is
6 inserted before the 'Author:' line. This line begins with
7 "Merge: " and the sha1s of ancestral commits are printed,
8 separated by spaces. Note that the listed commits may not
9 necessarily be the list of the *direct* parent commits if you
10 have limited your view of history: for example, if you are
11 only interested in changes related to a certain directory or
14 Here are some additional details for each format:
20 This is designed to be as compact as possible.
53 AuthorDate: <date & time>
55 CommitDate: <date & time>
66 Subject: [PATCH] <title line>
72 The 'raw' format shows the entire commit exactly as
73 stored in the commit object. Notably, the SHA1s are
74 displayed in full, regardless of whether --abbrev or
75 --no-abbrev are used, and 'parents' information show the
76 true parent commits, without taking grafts nor history
77 simplification into account.
81 The 'format:' format allows you to specify which information
82 you want to show. It works a little bit like printf format,
83 with the notable exception that you get a newline with '%n'
86 E.g, 'format:"The author of %h was %an, %ar%nThe title was >>%s<<%n"'
87 would show something like this:
90 The author of fe6e0ee was Junio C Hamano, 23 hours ago
91 The title was >>t4119: test autocomputing -p<n> for traditional diff input.<<
