Depends on the definition of "correctly", but perhaps you have a definition different from ours ;-) The "patches" shown with -c/--cc are designed to be different from normal diff so that people do not accidentally try to apply them with "patch" or "git apply". "log -p" omits merge commits by default because diffs of merges are mostly not useful for ordinary purposes. If you are trying to use "log -p" to reproduce a (part of) history, perhaps you would want to also study -m option. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
