Junio C Hamano a6080a0a44 War on whitespace
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time.  There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors).  The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

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.
<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.
