A log format controls how information about each revision is displayed. The standard log formats are compared below:
HomeFeature long short line
---------------------- ------------- ------------ -------------------
design goal detailed view concise view 1 revision per line
committer name+email name only name only
author name+email - -
date-time format full date only date only
commit message full full top line
tags yes yes yes
merges indicator - yes -
status/delta optional optional -
diff/patch optional optional -
revision-id optional optional -
branch nick yes - -
foreign vcs properties yes yes -
preferred levels all 1 1
digital signature optional - -
The default format is long. To change this, define the log_format setting in the [DEFAULT] section of bazaar.conf like this (say):
[DEFAULT]
log_format = short
Alternatively, to change the log format used for a given query, use the –long, –short or –line options.
If one of the standard log formats does not meet your needs, additional formats can be provided by plugins.
