        Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown. If <em>short</em> is
        specified, the ref name prefixes <em>refs/heads/</em>, <em>refs/tags/</em> and
        <em>refs/remotes/</em> will not be printed. If <em>full</em> is specified, the

        Without this flag, "git log -p &lt;path&gt;&#8230;" 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 "&lt;path&gt;&#8230;" limits only

        First, build a history graph in the same way that
        <em>--full-history</em> with parent rewriting does (see above).
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Then simplify each commit <code>C</code> to its replacement <code>C'</code> in the final
history according to the following rules:</p></div>
<div class="openblock">
<div class="content">
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
Set <code>C'</code> to <code>C</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Replace each parent <code>P</code> of <code>C'</code> with its simplification <code>P'</code>.  In
  the process, drop parents that are ancestors of other parents, and
  remove duplicates.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If after this parent rewriting, <code>C'</code> is a root or merge commit (has
  zero or &gt;1 parents), a boundary commit, or !TREESAME, it remains.
  Otherwise, it is replaced with its only parent.
</p>
</li>
</ul></div>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The effect of this is best shown by way of comparing to
<em>--full-history</em> with parent rewriting.  The example turns into:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>          .-A---M---N---O
         /     /       /

         \   /       /
          `---------'</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Note the major differences in <code>N</code> and <code>P</code> over <em>--full-history</em>:</p></div>
<div class="openblock">
<div class="content">
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
<code>N</code>'s parent list had <code>I</code> removed, because it is an ancestor of the
  other parent <code>M</code>.  Still, <code>N</code> remained because it is !TREESAME.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code>P</code>'s parent list similarly had <code>I</code> removed.  <code>P</code> was then
  removed completely, because it had one parent and is TREESAME.
</p>
</li>

<div class="paragraph"><p>Finally, there is a fifth simplification mode available:</p></div>
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--ancestry-path

<dd>
<p>
        Limit the displayed commits to those directly on the ancestry
        chain between the "from" and "to" commits in the given commit
        range. I.e. only display commits that are ancestor of the "to"
        commit, and descendants of the "from" commit.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>As an example use case, consider the following commit history:</p></div>

<pre><code>            D---E-------F

         /                     \
        A-------K---------------L--M</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>A regular <em>D..M</em> computes the set of commits that are ancestors of <code>M</code>,
but excludes the ones that are ancestors of <code>D</code>. This is useful to see
what happened to the history leading to <code>M</code> since <code>D</code>, in the sense
that "what does <code>M</code> have that did not exist in <code>D</code>". The result in this
example would be all the commits, except <code>A</code> and <code>B</code> (and <code>D</code> itself,
of course).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When we want to find out what commits in <code>M</code> are contaminated with the
bug introduced by <code>D</code> and need fixing, however, we might want to view
only the subset of <em>D..M</em> that are actually descendants of <code>D</code>, i.e.
excluding <code>C</code> and <code>K</code>. This is exactly what the <em>--ancestry-path</em>
option does. Applied to the <em>D..M</em> range, it results in:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>                E-------F
                 \       \

                               \
                                L--M</code></pre>
</div></div>
</dd>
</dl></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>--simplify-by-decoration</em> option allows you to view only the
big picture of the topology of the history, by omitting commits
that are not referenced by tags.  Commits are marked as !TREESAME
(in other words, kept after history simplification rules described
above) if (1) they are referenced by tags, or (2) they change the
contents of the paths given on the command line.  All other
commits are marked as TREESAME (subject to be simplified away).</p></div>

other words, each commit has the message terminator character (usually a

This means that the final entry of a single-line format will be properly
terminated with a new line, just as the "oneline" format does.

        Generate a diffstat. By default, as much space as necessary
        will be used for the filename part, and the rest for the graph
        part. Maximum width defaults to terminal width, or 80 columns
        if not connected to a terminal, and can be overridden by
        <code>&lt;width&gt;</code>. The width of the filename part can be limited by
        giving another width <code>&lt;name-width&gt;</code> after a comma. The width
        of the graph part can be limited by using
        <code>--stat-graph-width=&lt;width&gt;</code> (affects all commands generating
        a stat graph) or by setting <code>diff.statGraphWidth=&lt;width&gt;</code>
        (does not affect <code>git format-patch</code>).
        By giving a third parameter <code>&lt;count&gt;</code>, you can limit the
        output to the first <code>&lt;count&gt;</code> lines, followed by <code>...</code> if
        there are more.

        Output the distribution of relative amount of changes for each

        passing it a comma separated list of parameters.
        The defaults are controlled by the <code>diff.dirstat</code> configuration
        variable (see <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>).

<code>changes</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Compute the dirstat numbers by counting the lines that have been
        removed from the source, or added to the destination. This ignores
        the amount of pure code movements within a file.  In other words,
        rearranging lines in a file is not counted as much as other changes.
        This is the default behavior when no parameter is given.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>lines</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Compute the dirstat numbers by doing the regular line-based diff
        analysis, and summing the removed/added line counts. (For binary
        files, count 64-byte chunks instead, since binary files have no
        natural concept of lines). This is a more expensive <code>--dirstat</code>
        behavior than the <code>changes</code> behavior, but it does count rearranged
        lines within a file as much as other changes. The resulting output
        is consistent with what you get from the other <code>--*stat</code> options.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>files</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Compute the dirstat numbers by counting the number of files changed.
        Each changed file counts equally in the dirstat analysis. This is
        the computationally cheapest <code>--dirstat</code> behavior, since it does
        not have to look at the file contents at all.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>cumulative</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Count changes in a child directory for the parent directory as well.
        Note that when using <code>cumulative</code>, the sum of the percentages
        reported may exceed 100%. The default (non-cumulative) behavior can
        be specified with the <code>noncumulative</code> parameter.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">

<p>
        An integer parameter specifies a cut-off percent (3% by default).

        the commits in the range like <a href="git-submodule.html">git-submodule(1)</a> <code>summary</code> does.
        Omitting the <code>--submodule</code> option or specifying <code>--submodule=short</code>,
        uses the <em>short</em> format. This format just shows the names of the commits

</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>It affects the way a change that amounts to a total rewrite of a file
not as a series of deletion and insertion mixed together with a very
few lines that happen to match textually as the context, but as a
single deletion of everything old followed by a single insertion of
everything new, and the number <code>m</code> controls this aspect of the -B
option (defaults to 60%). <code>-B/70%</code> specifies that less than 30% of the
original should remain in the result for Git to consider it a total
rewrite (i.e. otherwise the resulting patch will be a series of
deletion and insertion mixed together with context lines).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When used with -M, a totally-rewritten file is also considered as the
source of a rename (usually -M only considers a file that disappeared
as the source of a rename), and the number <code>n</code> controls this aspect of
the -B option (defaults to 50%). <code>-B20%</code> specifies that a change with
addition and deletion compared to 20% or more of the file&#8217;s size are
eligible for being picked up as a possible source of a rename to

        If generating diffs, detect and report renames for each commit.
        For following files across renames while traversing history, see

        If <code>n</code> is specified, it is a threshold on the similarity
        index (i.e. amount of addition/deletions compared to the
        file&#8217;s size). For example, <code>-M90%</code> means Git should consider a
        delete/add pair to be a rename if more than 90% of the file
        hasn&#8217;t changed.  Without a <code>%</code> sign, the number is to be read as
        a fraction, with a decimal point before it.  I.e., <code>-M5</code> becomes
        0.5, and is thus the same as <code>-M50%</code>.  Similarly, <code>-M05</code> is
        the same as <code>-M5%</code>.  To limit detection to exact renames, use

added, from the point of view of that parent).</p></div>

from both files (hence two <code>-</code> removals from both file1 and
file2, plus <code>++</code> to mean one line that was added does not appear
in either file1 nor file2).  Also eight other lines are the same
from file1 but do not appear in file2 (hence prefixed with <code>+</code>).</p></div>

merge commit with the merge result (i.e. file1..fileN are the
parents).  When shown by <code>git diff-files -c</code>, it compares the
two unresolved merge parents with the working tree file
(i.e. file1 is stage 2 aka "our version", file2 is stage 3 aka
"their version").</p></div>

The pathnames recorded in the index and in the tree objects

   What readdir(2) returns are what are recorded and compared

   to be what lstat(2) and creat(2) accepts.  There is no such

<div class="paragraph"><p>Although we encourage that the commit log messages are encoded
in UTF-8, both the core and Git Porcelain are designed not to
force UTF-8 on projects.  If all participants of a particular

<em>git commit</em> and <em>git commit-tree</em> issues
  a warning if the commit log message given to it does not look
  like a valid UTF-8 string, unless you explicitly say your
  project uses a legacy encoding.  The way to say this is to
  have i18n.commitencoding in <code>.git/config</code> file, like this:
</p>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>[i18n]
        commitencoding = ISO-8859-1</code></pre>

<p>
<em>git log</em>, <em>git show</em>, <em>git blame</em> and friends look at the
  <code>encoding</code> header of a commit object, and try to re-code the
  log message into UTF-8 unless otherwise specified.  You can
  specify the desired output encoding with
  <code>i18n.logoutputencoding</code> in <code>.git/config</code> file, like this:
</p>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>[i18n]
        logoutputencoding = ISO-8859-1</code></pre>

<code>i18n.commitencoding</code> is used instead.</p></div>
</li>
</ol></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Note that we deliberately chose not to re-code the commit log
message when a commit is made to force UTF-8 at the commit
object level, because re-coding to UTF-8 is not necessarily a
reversible operation.</p></div>
