Git log follow question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Everybody,

I'm having an issue understanding the way git log --follow works with git
log --parents

When I run 
git log --parents --pretty=format:Commit:%H%nParent:%P%n%n alloc.c
I get:

As you can see git log --parents and git log --follow --parents produce very
different results, and as far as I can tell they should produce identical
outputs. 

Could somebody tell me if I'm doing something wrong with the syntax? Or have
I stumbled onto a quirk I fail to understand?

Thanks,
Albert
