"git cat-file commit <commit-id>" should give you a machine-readable format of everything (it's the same thing that git-log parses and shows you; not counting options like --diff, --stat...). <commit-id> is from rev-list output (without --pretty, that's not for machine processing). You probably can use "git cat-file --batch" too, just pipe the whole rev-list output through it. You don't get to choose a convenient format this way though. -- Duy
