log.abbrevCommit:: If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--abbrev-commit`. You may override this option with `--no-abbrev-commit`. log.date:: Set the default date-time mode for the 'log' command. Setting a value for log.date is similar to using 'git log''s `--date` option. See linkgit:git-log[1] for details. log.decorate:: Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log command. If 'short' is specified, the ref name prefixes 'refs/heads/', 'refs/tags/' and 'refs/remotes/' will not be printed. If 'full' is specified, the full ref name (including prefix) will be printed. If 'auto' is specified, then if the output is going to a terminal, the ref names are shown as if 'short' were given, otherwise no ref names are shown. This is the same as the `--decorate` option of the `git log`. log.follow:: If `true`, `git log` will act as if the `--follow` option was used when a single <path> is given. This has the same limitations as `--follow`, i.e. it cannot be used to follow multiple files and does not work well on non-linear history. log.graphColors:: A list of colors, separated by commas, that can be used to draw history lines in `git log --graph`. log.showRoot:: If true, the initial commit will be shown as a big creation event. This is equivalent to a diff against an empty tree. Tools like linkgit:git-log[1] or linkgit:git-whatchanged[1], which normally hide the root commit will now show it. True by default. log.showSignature:: If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--show-signature`. log.mailmap:: If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--use-mailmap`, otherwise assume `--no-use-mailmap`. True by default.
