We have a repository that mostly contains configuration data.
This is updated by our continuous integration build system, but
every once in a while there are also more interesting commits
made by humans.
For several years I have suffered in silence, wishing for a way
to do something like
git log --author-not cibot
Today a friend told me that you can actually list all commits
except those made by cibot with this commandline:
git log --invert-grep --author cibot
The documentation for --invert-grep should mention that it
also inverts the meaning of --author and --committer. Perphaps
something like this would make sense?
