3f971fc4 JH |
30 | Limits the number of commits to show. |
31 | ||
32 | <since>..<until>:: | |
99e09cce JH |
33 | Show only commits between the named two commits. When |
34 | either <since> or <until> is omitted, it defaults to | |
35 | `HEAD`, i.e. the tip of the current branch. | |

36 | For a more complete list of ways to spell <since> |
37 | and <until>, see "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in | |
5162e697 | 38 | linkgit:git-rev-parse[1]. |

ef3cb65c | 41 | Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown. |

43 | --full-diff:: |
44 | Without this flag, "git log -p <paths>..." shows commits that | |
45 | touch the specified paths, and diffs about the same specified | |
46 | paths. With this, the full diff is shown for commits that touch | |
47 | the specified paths; this means that "<paths>..." limits only | |
48 | commits, and doesn't limit diff for those commits. | |
49 | ||
4f50f6a9 SW |
50 | --follow:: |
51 | Continue listing the history of a file beyond renames. | |
52 | ||
9fa3465d MC |
53 | --log-size:: |
54 | Before the log message print out its size in bytes. Intended | |
55 | mainly for porcelain tools consumption. If git is unable to | |
56 | produce a valid value size is set to zero. | |
57 | Note that only message is considered, if also a diff is shown | |
58 | its size is not included. | |
59 | ||
e51c3b50 JH |
60 | <paths>...:: |
61 | Show only commits that affect the specified paths. | |
