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?

I think this is likely to cause problems.  Many people use git log with
--pretty to format commit hashes or messages into other programs.  I'm
aware of multiple tools that will simply break if --graph or --patch
become the default.  Requiring people to retrofit their tools to use
--no-graph or --no-patch is likely to be a burden.
