From: Forrest Galloway Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2013 21:11:18 GMT Subject: git rev-list --pretty=format:"" issue Message-ID: git 1.8.2.1 on OSX(Mountain Lion) installed with Homebrew I am seeing an issue when trying to format the output from rev-list command. git log --pretty=format:"%H - %an, %ar : %s" When I attempt the above string, instead of printing to the shell, LESS is opened and the output is displayed there. Got the command from here: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Basics-Viewing-the-Commit-History git log --pretty=format:"%h - %an, %ar : %s" The string above works fine when I change the %h to %H the issue shoes up.
