   1 log.abbrevCommit::
   2         If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
   3         linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--abbrev-commit`. You may
   4         override this option with `--no-abbrev-commit`.
   5
   6 log.date::
   7         Set the default date-time mode for the 'log' command.
   8         Setting a value for log.date is similar to using 'git log''s
   9         `--date` option.  See linkgit:git-log[1] for details.
  10 +
  11 If the format is set to "auto:foo" and the pager is in use, format
  12 "foo" will be the used for the date format. Otherwise "default" will
  13 be used.
  14
  15 log.decorate::
  16         Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log
  17         command. If 'short' is specified, the ref name prefixes 'refs/heads/',
  18         'refs/tags/' and 'refs/remotes/' will not be printed. If 'full' is
  19         specified, the full ref name (including prefix) will be printed.
  20         If 'auto' is specified, then if the output is going to a terminal,
  21         the ref names are shown as if 'short' were given, otherwise no ref
  22         names are shown. This is the same as the `--decorate` option
  23         of the `git log`.
  24
  25 log.initialDecorationSet::
  26         By default, `git log` only shows decorations for certain known ref
  27         namespaces. If 'all' is specified, then show all refs as
  28         decorations.
  29
  30 log.excludeDecoration::
  31         Exclude the specified patterns from the log decorations. This is
  32         similar to the `--decorate-refs-exclude` command-line option, but
  33         the config option can be overridden by the `--decorate-refs`
  34         option.
  35
  36 log.diffMerges::
  37         Set diff format to be used when `--diff-merges=on` is
  38         specified, see `--diff-merges` in linkgit:git-log[1] for
  39         details. Defaults to `separate`.
  40
  41 log.follow::
  42         If `true`, `git log` will act as if the `--follow` option was used when
  43         a single <path> is given.  This has the same limitations as `--follow`,
  44         i.e. it cannot be used to follow multiple files and does not work well
  45         on non-linear history.
  46
  47 log.graphColors::
  48         A list of colors, separated by commas, that can be used to draw
  49         history lines in `git log --graph`.
  50
  51 log.showRoot::
  52         If true, the initial commit will be shown as a big creation event.
  53         This is equivalent to a diff against an empty tree.
  54         Tools like linkgit:git-log[1] or linkgit:git-whatchanged[1], which
  55         normally hide the root commit will now show it. True by default.
  56
  57 log.showSignature::
  58         If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
  59         linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--show-signature`.
  60
  61 log.mailmap::
  62         If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
  63         linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--use-mailmap`, otherwise
  64         assume `--no-use-mailmap`. True by default.
