Hi ,

I have been hearing from my Release Management that git log is not reliable. Is it so ? Is there a known instance where Git log has missed out on commits ?

Any information about this would be really helpful

Regards, Prasad

Are you talking about git skipping commits due to history simplification (read the corresponding section in the git-log man page)?

Also, what for does your release management use git log? Maybe there is a better way to do what you need to do.
