-Commit Formatting

-ifdef::git-rev-list[]
-Using these options, linkgit:git-rev-list[1] will act similar to the
-more specialized family of commit log tools: linkgit:git-log[1],
-linkgit:git-show[1], and linkgit:git-whatchanged[1]
-endif::git-rev-list[]
-
-include::pretty-options.txt[]
-
---relative-date::
-
- Synonym for `--date=relative`.
-
---date=(relative|local|default|iso|rfc|short|raw)::
-
- Only takes effect for dates shown in human-readable format, such
- as when using "--pretty". `log.date` config variable sets a default
- value for log command's --date option.
-+
-`--date=relative` shows dates relative to the current time,
-e.g. "2 hours ago".
-+
-`--date=local` shows timestamps in user's local timezone.
-+
-`--date=iso` (or `--date=iso8601`) shows timestamps in ISO 8601 format.
-+
-`--date=rfc` (or `--date=rfc2822`) shows timestamps in RFC 2822
-format, often found in E-mail messages.
-+
-`--date=short` shows only date but not time, in `YYYY-MM-DD` format.
-+
-`--date=raw` shows the date in the internal raw git format `%s %z` format.
-+
-`--date=default` shows timestamps in the original timezone
-(either committer's or author's).
-
-ifdef::git-rev-list[]
---header::
-
- Print the contents of the commit in raw-format; each record is
- separated with a NUL character.
-endif::git-rev-list[]
-
---parents::
-
- Print also the parents of the commit (in the form "commit parent...").
- Also enables parent rewriting, see 'History Simplification' below.
-
---children::
-
- Print also the children of the commit (in the form "commit child...").
- Also enables parent rewriting, see 'History Simplification' below.
-
-ifdef::git-rev-list[]
---timestamp::
- Print the raw commit timestamp.
-endif::git-rev-list[]
-
---left-right::
-
- Mark which side of a symmetric diff a commit is reachable from.
- Commits from the left side are prefixed with `<` and those from
- the right with `>`. If combined with `--boundary`, those
- commits are prefixed with `-`.
-+
-For example, if you have this topology:
-+
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- y---b---b branch B
- / \ /
- / .
- / / \
- o---x---a---a branch A
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-+
-you would get an output like this:
-+
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- $ git rev-list --left-right --boundary --pretty=oneline A...B
-
- >bbbbbbb... 3rd on b
- >bbbbbbb... 2nd on b
- <aaaaaaa... 3rd on a
- <aaaaaaa... 2nd on a
- -yyyyyyy... 1st on b
- -xxxxxxx... 1st on a
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
---graph::
-
- Draw a text-based graphical representation of the commit history
- on the left hand side of the output. This may cause extra lines
- to be printed in between commits, in order for the graph history
- to be drawn properly.
-+
-This enables parent rewriting, see 'History Simplification' below.
-+
-This implies the '--topo-order' option by default, but the
-'--date-order' option may also be specified.
-
-ifdef::git-rev-list[]
---count::
- Print a number stating how many commits would have been
- listed, and suppress all other output. When used together
- with '--left-right', instead print the counts for left and
- right commits, separated by a tab.
-endif::git-rev-list[]

-Diff Formatting
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Below are listed options that control the formatting of diff output.
-Some of them are specific to linkgit:git-rev-list[1], however other diff
-options may be given. See linkgit:git-diff-files[1] for more options.
-
--c::
-
- With this option, diff output for a merge commit
- shows the differences from each of the parents to the merge result
- simultaneously instead of showing pairwise diff between a parent
- and the result one at a time. Furthermore, it lists only files
- which were modified from all parents.
-
---cc::
-
- This flag implies the '-c' options and further compresses the
- patch output by omitting uninteresting hunks whose contents in
- the parents have only two variants and the merge result picks
- one of them without modification.
-
--m::
-
- This flag makes the merge commits show the full diff like
- regular commits; for each merge parent, a separate log entry
- and diff is generated. An exception is that only diff against
- the first parent is shown when '--first-parent' option is given;
- in that case, the output represents the changes the merge
- brought _into_ the then-current branch.
-
--r::
-
- Show recursive diffs.
-
--t::
-
- Show the tree objects in the diff output. This implies '-r'.
-
--s::
- Suppress diff output.
-endif::git-rev-list[]

Commit Limiting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Besides specifying a range of commits that should be listed using the
special notations explained in the description, additional commit
-limiting may be applied.
+limiting may be applied. Note that they are applied before commit
+ordering and formatting options, such as '--reverse'.
--
-n 'number'::
--max-count=<number>::
- Limit the number of commits output.
+ Limit the number of commits to output.
--skip=<number>::
+
For example, if you have two branches, `A` and `B`, a usual way
to list all commits on only one side of them is with
-`--left-right`, like the example above in the description of
-that option. It however shows the commits that were cherry-picked
+`--left-right` (see the example below in the description of
+the `--left-right` option). It however shows the commits that were cherry-picked
from the other branch (for example, "3rd on b" may be cherry-picked
from branch A). With this option, such pairs of commits are
excluded from the output.
--do-walk::
Overrides a previous --no-walk.
