`man git shortlog` (from git 2.45.0) has the following: --author=<pattern>, --committer=<pattern> Limit the commits output to ones with author/committer header lines that match the specified pattern (regular expression). With more than one --author=<pattern>, commits whose author matches any of the given patterns are chosen (similarly for multiple --committer=<pattern>). Now `git shortlog --author=gerald` works as expected. However `git shortlog --committer=gerald` results in an error: error: option `committer' takes no value This is either a doc bug or an implementation issue? Also, how does one list all commits by a certain committer (as opposed to author) then? Thanks, Gerald
