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 ``` ## Tomas Carnecky, 2012-12-17 09:38 Subject: Re: git log reliability Message-ID: <1355737102-ner-5842@calvin> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1355737102-ner-5842%40calvin In-Reply-To: ``` On Mon, 17 Dec 2012 14:56:17 +0530, Prasad Karmarkar wrote: > Hi , > > I have been hearing from my Release Management that git log is not > reliable.

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