+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-log' <option>...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Shows the commit logs.
+
+The command takes options applicable to the gitlink::git-rev-list[1]
+command to control what is shown and how, and options applicable to
+the gitlink::git-diff-tree[1] commands to control how the change
+each commit introduces are shown.
+
+This manual page describes only the most frequently used
+options.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+--pretty=<format>::
+ Controls the way the commit log is formatted.
+
+--max-count=<n>::
+ Limits the number of commits to show.
+
+<since>..<until>::
+ Show only commits between the named two commits.
+
+-p::

+
+<paths>...::
+ Show only commits that affect the specified paths.
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+git log --no-merges::
+
+ Show the whole commit history, but skip any merges
+
+git log v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi::
+
+ Show all commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed any file
+ in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
+
+git log --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'
+
+git log -r --name-status release..test::
+
+ Show the commits that are in the "test" branch but not yet
+ in the "release" branch, along with the list of paths
