   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 log.decorate::
  12         Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log
  13         command. If 'short' is specified, the ref name prefixes 'refs/heads/',
  14         'refs/tags/' and 'refs/remotes/' will not be printed. If 'full' is
  15         specified, the full ref name (including prefix) will be printed.
  16         If 'auto' is specified, then if the output is going to a terminal,
  17         the ref names are shown as if 'short' were given, otherwise no ref
  18         names are shown. This is the same as the `--decorate` option
  19         of the `git log`.
  20
  21 log.follow::
  22         If `true`, `git log` will act as if the `--follow` option was used when
  23         a single <path> is given.  This has the same limitations as `--follow`,
  24         i.e. it cannot be used to follow multiple files and does not work well
  25         on non-linear history.
  26
  27 log.graphColors::
  28         A list of colors, separated by commas, that can be used to draw
  29         history lines in `git log --graph`.
  30
  31 log.showRoot::
  32         If true, the initial commit will be shown as a big creation event.
  33         This is equivalent to a diff against an empty tree.
  34         Tools like linkgit:git-log[1] or linkgit:git-whatchanged[1], which
  35         normally hide the root commit will now show it. True by default.
  36
  37 log.showSignature::
  38         If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
  39         linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--show-signature`.
  40
  41 log.mailmap::
  42         If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
  43         linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--use-mailmap`, otherwise
  44         assume `--no-use-mailmap`. False by default.
