[PATCH v1 0/2] Add option to git log to choose which refs receive decoration

As suggested by Documentation/SubmittingPatches Hi, this is my first patch.\n

I basically stumbled on the same issue mentioned here: https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqzim1pp4m.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com/

This patch implements two new command line options for `git log`: `--decorate-refs=<pattern>` and `--decorate-refs-exlcude=<pattern>`

Both options accept a glob pattern which determines what decorations commits receive.

At first I considered adding '--trim-decoration', that would filter refs based on values passed to '--branches=' '--remotes=' '--tags=' and '--exclude='.

After reading the email, I think it's better to have those two behaviours decoupled.

I also had plans to add: (Not sure if others deserve having their own command) --decorate-branches= --decorate-remotes= --decorate-tags=

But was not sure if a 'niche' function like this is worth 5+ command line options. I personally find that those two are enough.
