Re: git log filtering

 - "git log" can itself do a lot of filtering. Both on date, on revisions,
   on "modifies files/directories X, Y and Z" _and_ on strings.

   See "man git-rev-list" for more (it doesn't apply to just "git log", it
   applies to just about any revision listing, including gitk etc)

   For example,

        git log [--author=pattern] [--committer=pattern] [--grep=pattern]

   will likely do exactly what you want. You can do

        git log --grep="Signed-off-by:.*akpm"

   on the kernel archive to see which ones were signed off by Andrew.

Cool.  The hidden little options.  :-)  This is exactly what I was
looking for.  Thanks.

I didn't see these options in the man pages.  Might be worth putting in there??

Cheers,
Don
