I have a few aliases to congratulate myself for being such an awesome
contributor from time to time ;-):
[alias]
mymaster = log --oneline --author=matthieu....@imag.fr origin/master
It did require me to write these lines in my config file, but I think
that the trouble of writing them is smaller than the extra noise in the
manual page and possibly the output of `git log -h`. Having the
shorthand "--author=me" would be better than "git log --mine" as far as
cluttering the doc is concerned IMHO, but it's also likely to break
someone's search.
BTW, the output of `git log -h` is disappointing:
$ git log -h
usage: git log [<options>] [<revision-range>] [[--] <path>...]
or: git show [<options>] <object>...
-q, --quiet suppress diff output
--source show source
--use-mailmap Use mail map file
--decorate[=...] decorate options
-L <n,m:file> Process line range n,m in file, counting from 1
There are far more options than this...
