Hi,

I have a question about the internal of "git log". Each time when I execute the following command:

 > git log --numstat --since="2022-06-01" --until="2022-06-21" 
--no-merges --format=%n%n%s%n%H%n%cs%n%an\<%ae

The number of the commits in the output is slightly different. I didn't do any sync operation in the repo, so the only reason I can found is that maybe git log involves some stochastic operations, so each time the output will be a little changed. Is my assumption right?
