@@ -88,363 +88,8 @@ OPTIONS ------- -Commit Formatting -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -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] - -include::pretty-options.txt[] - ---relative-date:: - - Synonym for `--date=relative`. - ---date={relative,local,default,iso,rfc}:: - - Only takes effect for dates shown in human-readable format, such - as when using "--pretty". -+ -`--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=default` shows timestamps in the original timezone -(either committer's or author's). - ---header:: - - Print the contents of the commit in raw-format; each record is - separated with a NUL character. - ---parents:: - - Print the parents of the commit. - ---timestamp:: - Print the raw commit timestamp. - ---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 line 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -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:: - - This flag changes the way a merge commit is displayed. It 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 hunks that show differences from only - one parent, or show the same change from all but one parent for - an Octopus merge. - --r:: - - Show recursive diffs. - --t:: - - Show the tree objects in the diff output. This implies '-r'. - -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. - --- - --n 'number', --max-count='number':: - - Limit the number of commits output. - ---skip='number':: - - Skip 'number' commits before starting to show the commit output. - ---since='date', --after='date':: - - Show commits more recent than a specific date. - ---until='date', --before='date':: - - Show commits older than a specific date. - ---max-age='timestamp', --min-age='timestamp':: - - Limit the commits output to specified time range. - ---author='pattern', --committer='pattern':: - - Limit the commits output to ones with author/committer - header lines that match the specified pattern (regular expression). - ---grep='pattern':: - - Limit the commits output to ones with log message that - matches the specified pattern (regular expression). - --i, --regexp-ignore-case:: - - Match the regexp limiting patterns without regard to letters case. - --E, --extended-regexp:: - - Consider the limiting patterns to be extended regular expressions - instead of the default basic regular expressions. - ---remove-empty:: - - Stop when a given path disappears from the tree. - ---full-history:: - - Show also parts of history irrelevant to current state of a given - path. This turns off history simplification, which removed merges - which didn't change anything at all at some child. It will still actually - simplify away merges that didn't change anything at all into either - child. - ---no-merges:: - - Do not print commits with more than one parent. - ---first-parent:: - Follow only the first parent commit upon seeing a merge - commit. This option can give a better overview when - viewing the evolution of a particular topic branch, - because merges into a topic branch tend to be only about - adjusting to updated upstream from time to time, and - this option allows you to ignore the individual commits - brought in to your history by such a merge. - ---not:: - - Reverses the meaning of the '{caret}' prefix (or lack thereof) - for all following revision specifiers, up to the next '--not'. - ---all:: - - Pretend as if all the refs in `$GIT_DIR/refs/` are listed on the - command line as '<commit>'. - ---stdin:: - - In addition to the '<commit>' listed on the command - line, read them from the standard input. - ---quiet:: - - Don't print anything to standard output. This form of - git-rev-list is primarily meant to allow the caller to - test the exit status to see if a range of objects is fully - connected (or not). It is faster than redirecting stdout - to /dev/null as the output does not have to be formatted. - ---cherry-pick:: - - Omit any commit that introduces the same change as - another commit on the "other side" when the set of - commits are limited with symmetric difference. -+ -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 -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. - --g, --walk-reflogs:: - - Instead of walking the commit ancestry chain, walk - reflog entries from the most recent one to older ones. - When this option is used you cannot specify commits to - exclude (that is, '{caret}commit', 'commit1..commit2', - nor 'commit1...commit2' notations cannot be used). -+ -With '\--pretty' format other than oneline (for obvious reasons), -this causes the output to have two extra lines of information -taken from the reflog. By default, 'commit@\{Nth}' notation is -used in the output. When the starting commit is specified as -'commit@{now}', output also uses 'commit@\{timestamp}' notation -instead. Under '\--pretty=oneline', the commit message is -prefixed with this information on the same line. - -Cannot be combined with '\--reverse'. - ---merge:: - - After a failed merge, show refs that touch files having a - conflict and don't exist on all heads to merge. - ---boundary:: - - Output uninteresting commits at the boundary, which are usually - not shown. - ---dense, --sparse:: - -When optional paths are given, the default behaviour ('--dense') is to -only output commits that changes at least one of them, and also ignore -merges that do not touch the given paths. - -Use the '--sparse' flag to makes the command output all eligible commits -(still subject to count and age limitation), but apply merge -simplification nevertheless. - ---bisect:: - -Limit output to the one commit object which is roughly halfway between -the included and excluded commits. Thus, if - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - $ git-rev-list --bisect foo ^bar ^baz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -outputs 'midpoint', the output of the two commands - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - $ git-rev-list foo ^midpoint - $ git-rev-list midpoint ^bar ^baz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -would be of roughly the same length. Finding the change which -introduces a regression is thus reduced to a binary search: repeatedly -generate and test new 'midpoint's until the commit chain is of length -one. - ---bisect-vars:: - -This calculates the same as `--bisect`, but outputs text ready -to be eval'ed by the shell. These lines will assign the name of -the midpoint revision to the variable `bisect_rev`, and the -expected number of commits to be tested after `bisect_rev` is -tested to `bisect_nr`, the expected number of commits to be -tested if `bisect_rev` turns out to be good to `bisect_good`, -the expected number of commits to be tested if `bisect_rev` -turns out to be bad to `bisect_bad`, and the number of commits -we are bisecting right now to `bisect_all`. - ---bisect-all:: - -This outputs all the commit objects between the included and excluded -commits, ordered by their distance to the included and excluded -commits. The farthest from them is displayed first. (This is the only -one displayed by `--bisect`.) - -This is useful because it makes it easy to choose a good commit to -test when you want to avoid to test some of them for some reason (they -may not compile for example). - -This option can be used along with `--bisect-vars`, in this case, -after all the sorted commit objects, there will be the same text as if -`--bisect-vars` had been used alone. - --- - -Commit Ordering -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -By default, the commits are shown in reverse chronological order. - ---topo-order:: - - This option makes them appear in topological order (i.e. - descendant commits are shown before their parents). - ---date-order:: - - This option is similar to '--topo-order' in the sense that no - parent comes before all of its children, but otherwise things - are still ordered in the commit timestamp order. - ---reverse:: - - Output the commits in reverse order. - Cannot be combined with '\--walk-reflogs'. - -Object Traversal -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -These options are mostly targeted for packing of git repositories. - ---objects:: - - Print the object IDs of any object referenced by the listed - commits. 'git-rev-list --objects foo ^bar' thus means "send me - all object IDs which I need to download if I have the commit - object 'bar', but not 'foo'". - ---objects-edge:: - - Similar to '--objects', but also print the IDs of excluded - commits prefixed with a "-" character. This is used by - linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] to build "thin" pack, which records - objects in deltified form based on objects contained in these - excluded commits to reduce network traffic. - ---unpacked:: - - Only useful with '--objects'; print the object IDs that are not - in packs. - ---no-walk:: - - Only show the given revs, but do not traverse their ancestors. - ---do-walk:: - - Overrides a previous --no-walk. - +:git-rev-list: 1 +include::rev-list-options.txt[] include::pretty-formats.txt[]
