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. <start> and <end> are optional.
15 ``-L <start>'' or ``-L <start>,'' spans from <start> to end of file.
16 ``-L ,<end>'' spans from start of file to <end>.
18 <start> and <end> can take one of these forms:
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 The value is one of the following alternatives:
67 {relative,local,default,iso,rfc,short}. If --date is not
68 provided, the value of the blame.date config variable is
69 used. If the blame.date config variable is also not set, the
70 iso format is used. For more information, See the discussion
71 of the --date option at linkgit:git-log[1].
74 Detect moved or copied lines within a file. When a commit
75 moves or copies a block of lines (e.g. the original file
76 has A and then B, and the commit changes it to B and then
77 A), the traditional 'blame' algorithm notices only half of
78 the movement and typically blames the lines that were moved
79 up (i.e. B) to the parent and assigns blame to the lines that
80 were moved down (i.e. A) to the child commit. With this
81 option, both groups of lines are blamed on the parent by
82 running extra passes of inspection.
84 <num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
85 alphanumeric characters that Git must detect as moving/copying
86 within a file for it to associate those lines with the parent
87 commit. The default value is 20.
90 In addition to `-M`, detect lines moved or copied from other
91 files that were modified in the same commit. This is
92 useful when you reorganize your program and move code
93 around across files. When this option is given twice,
94 the command additionally looks for copies from other
95 files in the commit that creates the file. When this
96 option is given three times, the command additionally
97 looks for copies from other files in any commit.
99 <num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
100 alphanumeric characters that Git must detect as moving/copying
101 between files for it to associate those lines with the parent
102 commit. And the default value is 40. If there are more than one
103 `-C` options given, the <num> argument of the last `-C` will
