I think we are in agrement, then. I have this queued with the usual "SQUASH" label on top, so there is no need to resend. Thanks. diff --git a/Documentation/pretty-formats.txt b/Documentation/pretty-formats.txt index 998c7b8..2393f17 100644 --- a/Documentation/pretty-formats.txt +++ b/Documentation/pretty-formats.txt @@ -81,7 +81,7 @@ displayed in full, regardless of whether --abbrev or true parent commits, without taking grafts or history simplification into account. Note that this format affects the way commits are displayed, but not the way the diff is shown e.g. with -`git log --raw`. To get unabbreviated commits in a raw diff format, +`git log --raw`. To get full object names in a raw diff format, use `--no-abbrev`. * 'format:' -- 2.4.1-379-g2a6df60
