Subject: [PATCH 3/5] doc/pretty-formats: describe index/time formats for %gd
Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2016 01:05:13 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160711050513.GC32514@sigill.intra.peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160711050201.GA18031@sigill.intra.peff.net>

The "reflog selector" format changes based on a series of
heuristics, and that applies equally to both stock "log -g"
output, as well as "--format=%gd". The documentation for
"%gd" doesn't cover this. Let's mention the multiple formats
and refer the user back to the "-g" section for the complete
rules.
