[PATCH] Add --format that is a synonym to --pretty

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some people prefer to call the pretty-print styles "format", and get
annoyed to see "git log --format=short" fail.  Introduce it as a synonym
to --pretty so that both can be used interchangeably without breaking
examples in existing web pages or ppeople's expectations.

Having to say --format="format:%h %s" is redundant because none of the
predefined pretty-print styles have per-cent sign in it, so this patch
also makes it possible to say --pretty="%h %s" (and --format="%h %s").

I think doing it this way won't risk any compatibility issue.
Please be gentle; this is my first real patch in the C language.
