The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

==================
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-whatchanged - Show logs with difference each commit introduces
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git whatchanged' <option>...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces. The
|
|
command internally invokes 'git rev-list' piped to
|
|
'git diff-tree', and takes command line options for both of
|
|
these commands.
|
|
|
|
This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-p::
|
|
Show textual diffs, instead of the git internal diff
|
|
output format that is useful only to tell the changed
|
|
paths and their nature of changes.
|
|
|
|
-<n>::
|
|
Limit output to <n> commits.
|
|
|
|
<since>..<until>::
|
|
Limit output to between the two named commits (bottom
|
|
exclusive, top inclusive).
|
|
|
|
-r::
|
|
Show git internal diff output, but for the whole tree,
|
|
not just the top level.
|
|
|
|
-m::
|
|
By default, differences for merge commits are not shown.
|
|
With this flag, show differences to that commit from all
|
|
of its parents.
|
|
+
|
|
However, it is not very useful in general, although it
|
|
*is* useful on a file-by-file basis.

Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
git whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi::
|
|
|
|
Show as patches the commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed
|
|
any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
|
|
|
|
git whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" \-- gitk::
|
|
|
|
Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'.
|
|
The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named
|
|
'gitk'
