The 'sed -n' will join the lines back together. There is no joining going on. To "rev-list", a custom --pretty/--format is a signal to trigger its "verbose" mode, and it shows a "commit <object-name>" line and then the line in the format specified, e.g. $ git rev-list --pretty='%m%H %<(35,trunc)%s' --right-only --reverse ...2024d3 commit 1e9676ec0a771de06abca3009eb4bdc5a4ae3312 >1e9676ec0a771de06abca3009eb4bdc5a4ae3312 lockfile: replace random() by ran.. commit 2024d3176536fd437b4c0a744161e96bc150a24e >2024d3176536fd437b4c0a744161e96bc150a24e help.c: wrap wait-only poll() inv.. ... Because of that, "format=%m | sed -n s/>//p" would be one way to make sure that all lines we care about are prefixed by '>' so that we can pick them while discarding anything else. So you do need filtering unless switch to "log", even if you used --right-only. That is why I didn't use "rev-list" in the message you are responding to. -- 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
