Hello,
This seems like a bug to me, but maybe there's a good reason for it. I
reproduced it using Git 2.27.0 on Windows initially, and then I
upgraded to 2.31.1 to confirm that it was still present.
After committing with "--allow-empty", the initial commit is not shown
in "git log --simplify-by-decoration", although it is shown with "git
log". I would have expected it to be shown in both cases:
---
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in C:/tmp/repro/.git/
$ git commit --allow-empty -m init
[master (root-commit) bc54978] init
$ git log --simplify-by-decoration
$ git log
commit d7814029effeb7e824e480ca52e30f5a9d1e8058 (HEAD -> master)
Author: mtkennerly <mtkennerly@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri Apr 16 19:48:06 2021 -0400
init
---
However, if the first commit is not empty, then it is shown with or
without "--simplify-by-decoration", as expected:
---
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in C:/tmp/repro2/.git/
$ echo hi > foo.txt
$ git add .
$ git commit -m init
[master (root-commit) 35b6427] init
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 100644 foo.txt
$ git log --simplify-by-decoration
