<path>...` shows commits that
	touch the specified paths, and diffs about the same specified
	paths.  With this, the full diff is shown for commits that touch
	the specified paths; this means that "<path>..." limits only
	commits, and doesn't limit diff for those commits.
+
Note that this affects all diff-based output types, e.g. those
produced by `--stat`, etc.

--log-size::
	Include a line ``log size <number>'' in the output for each commit,
	where <number> is the length of that commit's message in bytes.
	Intended to speed up tools that read log messages from `git log`
	output by allowing them to allocate space in advance.

include::line-range-options.adoc[]

<revision-range>::
	Show only commits in the specified revision range.  When no
	<revision-range> is specified, it defaults to `HEAD` (i.e. the
	whole history leading to the current commit).  `origin..HEAD`
	specifies all the commits reachable from the current commit
	(i.e. `HEAD`), but not from `origin`. For a complete list of
	ways to spell <revision-range>, see the 'Specifying Ranges'
	section of linkgit:gitrevisions[7].

[--] <path>...::
	Show only commits that are enough to explain how the files
	that match the specified paths came to be.  See 'History
	Simplification' below for details and other simplification
	modes.
+
Paths may need to be prefixed with `--` to separate them from
options or the revision range, when confusion arises.

DIFF FORMATTING
---------------

By default, `git log` does not generate any diff output. The options
below can be used to show the changes made by each commit.

Note that unless one of `--diff-merges` variants (including short
`-m`, `-c`, `--cc`, and `--dd` options) is explicitly given, merge commits
will not show a diff, even if a diff format like `--patch` is
selected, nor will they match search options like `-S`. The exception
is when `--first-parent` is in use, in which case `first-parent` is
the default format for merge commits.

:git-log: 1
:diff-merges-default: `off`

EXAMPLES
--------
`git log --no-merges`::

	Show the whole commit history, but skip
