2026-05-29line-log: allow non-patch diff formats with -LMichael Montalbo1-4/+6
Now that -L flows through log_tree_diff_flush() and diff_flush(), metadata-only diff formats work because they only read filepair fields (status, mode, path, oid) already set on the pre-computed pairs. Expand the allowlist in setup_revisions() to also accept --raw, --name-only, --name-status, and --summary. Diff stat formats (--stat, --numstat, --shortstat, --dirstat) remain blocked because they call compute_diffstat() on full blob content and would show whole-file statistics rather than range-scoped ones.

2026-03-16doc: note that -L supports patch formatting and pickaxe optionsMichael Montalbo1-0/+4
Now that -L output flows through the standard diff pipeline, document that patch formatting options like --word-diff, --color-moved, --no-prefix, whitespace handling (-w, -b), and pickaxe options (-S, -G) are supported.

2025-07-07doc: git-log: convert line range options to new doc formatJean-Noël Avila1-5/+5
format placeholders in italics and keywords in monospace - Use _<placeholder>_ instead of <placeholder> in the description - Use `backticks` for keywords and more complex option descriptions. The new rendering engine will apply synopsis rules to these spans. Signed-off-by: Jean-Noël Avila <jn.avila@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-01-21doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc filesbrian m. carlson1-0/+15
We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files. While not wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc, meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting. It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files, since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering. Let's do that here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where relevant. Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new extension as well. Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the documentation. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
