Subject: git-shortlog man page missing a bunch of options
Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2019 00:47:09 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191024191709.gqkjljuibyashtma@yadavpratyush.com> (raw)
Hi,
I was looking at the git-shortlog man page today and realized that it
didn't mention an option that I have used before '--no-merges'. Looking
further, there are a lot of options that are not documented.
One fix would be to include rev-list-options.txt (which is where I
assume these options come from), just like git-log does.
But rev-list-options.txt is a rather large file and I'm not sure if
including it in both git-log and git-shortlog would be a good idea. The
way I see it, git-log is the "primary" log interface, and git-shortlog
is a "secondary" log interface, so git-log warrants such a large man
page, but git-shortlog doesn't especially since most options are
repeated. So maybe it is a better idea to just include a pointer to
git-rev-list in the shortlog man page.
I'll send in a patch after some suggestions on which alternative to go
for.
