For example: --pretty="%H %an" uses terminator > semantics. I didn't know that you could simply omit the "format:". Is it documented anywhere? The docs say: --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, full, fuller, email, raw and format:<string>. When omitted, the format defaults to medium. -- 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
