HomeLog Formats
A log format controls how information about each revision is displayed. The standard log formats are compared below:
Feature 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
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.
