Re: Missing git options

Hi there,

I just recently learned that not all command line switches seem to automatically correlate to options in the git configuration.

This seems something that should be relatively easy to fix.

What I’m most missing is

— snip —
[log]
        graph = true
        patch = true
— snap —

which would / should correspond to `git log —graph —patch`.

What do you guys think?

Feel free to send patches adding these options.

I had the impression that git-log was a pseudo-plumbing,
despite it being explicitly marked porcelain
as there is no good plumbing alternative.
But as we already have things like log.date, log.decorate,
that change the output of git-log, I think a patch or graph
option would be ok.

Thanks,
Stefan
