Yuck. It would be nice to just have a "Reflog date" header that you
could depend on, like:
diff --git a/reflog-walk.c b/reflog-walk.c
index f751fdc..cb7c66b 100644
--- a/reflog-walk.c
+++ b/reflog-walk.c
@@ -269,6 +269,8 @@ void show_reflog_message(struct reflog_walk_info* info, int oneline,
- 2 - commit_reflog->recno);
printf("} (%s)\nReflog message: %s",
info->email, info->message);
+ printf("Reflog date: %s\n",
+ show_date(info->timestamp, info->tz, relative_date));
}
}
}
Then you could just do:
$ git log --date=raw -g
Looking at making this trivial patch, though, it seems there is a bug
with the relative_date parameter. It is really a date_mode enum. In the
multi-line format, we feed it to show_date. But in the oneline mode, we
use it to decide whether to show the date, but then always pass the
"relative" date mode. So you get:
$ git log --oneline -g origin/master | head -n 1
e986ceb refs/remotes/origin/master@{0}: fetch origin: fast forward
$ git log --oneline -g --date=relative origin/master | head -n 1
e986ceb refs/remotes/origin/master@{2 days ago}: fetch origin: fast forward
$ git log --oneline -g --date=raw origin/master | head -n 1
e986ceb refs/remotes/origin/master@{2 days ago}: fetch origin: fast forward
Hmm. It seems to drop the TZ, too. I'll whip up a patch.
I guess my original "extra reflog header" isn't terribly useful, then:
you can always just pass --date=raw and parse it from the branch@{}
syntax.
