---pretty[='<format>']::
---format[='<format>']::
+--pretty[=<format>]::
+--format=<format>::
Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format,
where '<format>' can be one of 'oneline', 'short', 'medium',
preferred by the user. For non plumbing commands this
defaults to UTF-8.
---no-notes::
---show-notes[=<ref>]::
+--notes[=<ref>]::
Show the notes (see linkgit:git-notes[1]) that annotate the
commit, when showing the commit log message. This is the default
for `git log`, `git show` and `git whatchanged` commands when
- there is no `--pretty`, `--format` nor `--oneline` option is
- given on the command line.
+ there is no `--pretty`, `--format` nor `--oneline` option given
+ on the command line.
++
+By default, the notes shown are from the notes refs listed in the
+'core.notesRef' and 'notes.displayRef' variables (or corresponding
+environment overrides). See linkgit:git-config[1] for more details.
++
+With an optional '<ref>' argument, show this notes ref instead of the
+default notes ref(s). The ref is taken to be in `refs/notes/` if it
+is not qualified.
+
-With an optional argument, add this ref to the list of notes. The ref
-is taken to be in `refs/notes/` if it is not qualified.
+Multiple --notes options can be combined to control which notes are
+being displayed. Examples: "--notes=foo" will show only notes from
+"refs/notes/foo"; "--notes=foo --notes" will show both notes from
+"refs/notes/foo" and from the default notes ref(s).
+--no-notes::
+ Do not show notes. This negates the above `--notes` option, by
+ resetting the list of notes refs from which notes are shown.
+ Options are parsed in the order given on the command line, so e.g.
+ "--notes --notes=foo --no-notes --notes=bar" will only show notes
+ from "refs/notes/bar".
+
+--show-notes[=<ref>]::
--[no-]standard-notes::
- Enable or disable populating the notes ref list from the
- 'core.notesRef' and 'notes.displayRef' variables (or
- corresponding environment overrides). Enabled by default.
- See linkgit:git-config[1].
+ These options are deprecated. Use the above --notes/--no-notes
+ options instead.
