After vainly searching the Documentation for how to follow renames, I finally broke down and grepped the source. It would appear that Linus didn't add write and docs for this feature when he wrote it. The following patch rectifies that, hopefully sparing future users from resorting to the source code.

NAME

|
----
|
|
git-log - Show commit logs
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-log' <option>...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Shows the commit logs.
|
|
|
|
The command takes options applicable to the gitlink:git-rev-list[1]
|
|
command to control what is shown and how, and options applicable to
|
|
the gitlink:git-diff-tree[1] commands to control how the changes
|
|
each commit introduces are shown.
|
|
|
|
This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
include::pretty-options.txt[]
|
|
|
|
-<n>::
|
|
Limits the number of commits to show.
|
|
|
|
<since>..<until>::
|
|
Show only commits between the named two commits. When
|
|
either <since> or <until> is omitted, it defaults to
|
|
`HEAD`, i.e. the tip of the current branch.
|
|
For a more complete list of ways to spell <since>
|
|
and <until>, see "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in
|
|
gitlink:git-rev-parse[1].
|
|
|
|
--first-parent::
|
|
Follow only the first parent commit upon seeing a merge
|
|
commit. This option gives a better overview of the
|
|
evolution of a particular branch.
|
|
|
|
-p::
|
|
Show the change the commit introduces in a patch form.
|
|
|
|
-g, \--walk-reflogs::
|
|
Show commits as they were recorded in the reflog. The log contains
|
|
a record about how the tip of a reference was changed.
|
|
See also gitlink:git-reflog[1].
|
|
|
|
--decorate::
|
|
Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown.
|
|
|
|
--full-diff::
|
|
Without this flag, "git log -p <paths>..." shows commits that
|
|
touch the specified paths, and diffs about the same specified
|
|
paths. With this, the full diff is shown for commits that touch
|
|
the specified paths; this means that "<paths>..." limits only
|
|
commits, and doesn't limit diff for those commits.
|
|
|
|
--follow::
|
|
Continue listing the history of a file beyond renames.
|
|
|
|
<paths>...::
|
|
Show only commits that affect the specified paths.
|
|
|
|
|
|
include::pretty-formats.txt[]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
git log --no-merges::
|
|
|
|
Show the whole commit history, but skip any merges
|
|
|
|
git log v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi::
|
|
|
|
Show all commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed any file
|
|
in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
|
|
|
|
git log --since="2 weeks ago" \-- gitk::
|
|
|
|
Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'.
|
|
The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named
|
|
'gitk'
|
|
|
|
git log -r --name-status release..test::
|
|
|
|
Show the commits that are in the "test" branch but not yet
|
|
in the "release" branch, along with the list of paths
|
|
each commit modifies.
|
|
|
|
git log --follow builtin-rev-list.c::
|
|
|
|
Shows the commits that changed builtin-rev-list.c, including
|
|
those commits that occurred before the file was given its
|
|
present name.
