We use a custom script to generate reports based on the git-log
output. However, it appears that the output of git-log has changed in
1.4.1, and I have been unable to discover a set of flags to recreate
the log format to which I have become accustomed.

In git 1.4.0, the following command...

git log -r --root --abbrev=40 master

...would generate log entries like this...

Is there a way to generate this same format with git 1.4.1?

Thanks,
Robin

I do not know about git 1.4.1, but with 'next' you can just add '--raw' to 
the command line, and it works.

After Timo's diff options rewrite, -r does not seem to
automatically imply diff output anymore.  I personally think it
should.

In the meantime, "git log --raw -r ..." would give you want you
want, I think.
