AFAIK, the only other command that supports --merges and --no-merges options is rev-list. This new feature aims to make a default behavior for the commands that have these options. The command-line option is supported by the two commands. However, the config var is only used by git-log and rev-list ignores it. I didn't exclude rev-list for any particular reason. If we need, I could also handle it in rev-list. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
