New options --show-name, --show-number and --porcelain were not documented. Also add -p as a short-hand for --porcelain for consistency. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-blame - Show what revision and author last modified each line of a file
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-blame' [-c] [-l] [-t] [-f] [-n] [-p] [-S <revs-file>] [--] <file> [<rev>]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Annotates each line in the given file with information from the revision which
|
|
last modified the line. Optionally, start annotating from the given revision.
|
|
|
|
This report doesn't tell you anything about lines which have been deleted or
|
|
replaced; you need to use a tool such as gitlink:git-diff[1] or the "pickaxe"
|
|
interface briefly mentioned in the following paragraph.
|
|
|
|
Apart from supporting file annotation, git also supports searching the
|
|
development history for when a code snippet occured in a change. This makes it
|
|
possible to track when a code snippet was added to a file, moved or copied
|
|
between files, and eventually deleted or replaced. It works by searching for
|
|
a text string in the diff. A small example:
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
$ git log --pretty=oneline -S'blame_usage'
|
|
5040f17eba15504bad66b14a645bddd9b015ebb7 blame -S <ancestry-file>

|

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-c, --compatibility::
|
|
Use the same output mode as gitlink:git-annotate[1] (Default: off).
|
|
|
|
-l, --long::
|
|
Show long rev (Default: off).
|
|
|
|
-t, --time::
|
|

|
|
|
|
-S, --rev-file <revs-file>::
|
|
Use revs from revs-file instead of calling gitlink:git-rev-list[1].
|
|
|
|
-f, --show-name::
|
|
Show filename in the original commit. By default
|
|
filename is shown if there is any line that came from a
|
|
file with different name, due to rename detection.
|
|
|

|
|
Show line number in the original commit (Default: off).
|
|

|
-p, --porcelain::

|
THE PORCELAIN FORMAT
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
In this format, each line is output after a header; the
|
|
header at the minumum has the first line which has:
|
|
|
|
- 40-byte SHA-1 of the commit the line is attributed to;
|
|
- the line number of the line in the original file;
|
|
- the line number of the line in the final file;
|
|
- on a line that starts a group of line from a different
|
|
commit than the previous one, the number of lines in this
|
|
group. On subsequent lines this field is absent.
|
|
|
|
This header line is followed by the following information
|
|
at least once for each commit:
|
|
|
|
- author name ("author"), email ("author-mail"), time
|
|
("author-time"), and timezone ("author-tz"); similarly
|
|
for committer.
|
|
- filename in the commit the line is attributed to.
|
|
- the first line of the commit log message ("summary").
|
|
|
|
The contents of the actual line is output after the above
|
|
header, prefixed by a TAB. This is to allow adding more
|
|
header elements later.
