Hi,
Interesting discussion. However, the example below of three-spaces between
"%an" and "%ad" in the example below resulted in the
formatting of the output with the three spaces, but no dq's.
Original #178 content
G:\ws_test_env\GIT_TESTBED_TMP\fest-swing-1.x>git log --all
"--pretty=format:"%an" "%ad"" -- pom.xml
xxxx xxxx Mon Nov 23 03:09:17 2009 +0000
xxxx xxxx Mon Nov 23 02:42:24 2009 +0000
This added to my confusion as by right dq within dq should be formatted.
(Yea right, these days its needs to be escaped. But haven't tried that.)
In summary so far, it would appear that the --pretty......... needs to be
contained in double-quotes as a whole. This was the solution I applied to my
problem.
In the discussions I've seen more information requested as to the arguments
provided to the execution class. I solved this issue as I made it work by
experiment. I format the argument as a whole and don't have the space. IE.
"pretty=format:"name:%an%nauthor:%ad%n"".
Regards

Sorry for the noise.)

On Linux, this example gets passed to git as six arguments:
log
--all
--pretty=format:%an
%ad
--
pom.xml
As does it on Windows.
