# [PATCH] completion: complete some 'git log' options 5 messages from 2025-10-19 to 2025-10-20. Participants: KIYOTA Fumiya via GitGitGadget, Junio C Hamano, 清田郁弥. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/64352 ## KIYOTA Fumiya via GitGitGadget, 2025-10-19 12:57 Subject: [PATCH] completion: complete some 'git log' options Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/pull.2073.git.git.1760878666840.gitgitgadget%40gmail.com ``` From: KIYOTA Fumiya 1. '--exclude=' option to 'git log' and 'git shortlog' are missing. Add the option to __git_log_shortlog_options. 2. The `--committer` option in `git log` requires a pattern, such as `--committer=ba`, but in `git shortlog`, specifying a pattern results in an error: “error: option `committer' takes no value.” Therefore, I’ll handle them as separate options for completion rather than a shared one.

"Therefore, I'll h" -> "H" then the result matches the previous one to describe the solution as if you are giving an order to somebody sitting at the keyboard and making the changes for you, which is the style this project uses. Very good observation to notice the latter issue. Has it been raised as a bug that shortlog uses --committer in a way inconsistent with the rest of the log family of commands? Perhaps people often do not limit shortlog by committers like they limit by authors, but "group by committer" that is squatting on an option that users would expect to be used for "limit to a given committer" does sound like a small UI glitch to me. Will queue. Thanks. > Signed-off-by: KIYOTA Fumiya > --- > completion: complete some 'git log' options > > 1. '--exclude=' option to 'git log' and 'git shortlog' are missing.

Thanks. I’m not sure whether this is a known issue, but for now, I think it’s best to align with the current implementation (i.e., as in this patch) and add completion for 'git shortlog —exclude=' later when the bug is fixed. > > >> Signed-off-by: KIYOTA Fumiya >> --- >> completion: complete some 'git log' options >> >> 1.
