  30-<n>::
  31        Limits the number of commits to show.
  32
  33<since>..<until>::
  34        Show only commits between the named two commits.  When
  35        either <since> or <until> is omitted, it defaults to
  36        `HEAD`, i.e. the tip of the current branch.
  37        For a more complete list of ways to spell <since>
  38        and <until>, see "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in
  39        gitlink:git-rev-parse[1].
  40
  41-p::
  42        Show the change the commit introduces in a patch form.
  43
  44<paths>...::
  45        Show only commits that affect the specified paths.
  46

  48Examples
  49--------
  50git log --no-merges::
  51
  52        Show the whole commit history, but skip any merges
  53
  54git log v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi::
  55
  56        Show all commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed any file
  57        in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
  58
  59git log --since="2 weeks ago" \-- gitk::
  60
  61        Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'.
  62        The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named
  63        'gitk'
  64
  65git log -r --name-status release..test::
  66
  67        Show the commits that are in the "test" branch but not yet
  68        in the "release" branch, along with the list of paths
  69        each commit modifies.
