From 33e7018c459e6583b899690cabd21c808ffd3c85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lars Hjemli Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:23:12 +0200 Subject: git-log: allow --decorate[=short|full] Commit de435ac0 changed the behavior of --decorate from printing the full ref (e.g., "refs/heads/master") to a shorter, more human-readable version (e.g., just "master"). While this is nice for human readers, external tools using the output from "git log" may prefer the full version. This patch introduces an extension to --decorate to allow the caller to specify either the short or the full versions.
