If you append the following to the .git/config file, then just doing `git log` results in a log that corrects the indentation problem. [format] pretty = %C(yellow)commit %H%Creset%nAuthor: %an%nDate: %cd%n%n%B When I do this, it matches what `git log` would show by default except that it corrects the indentation problem by NOT inserting spaces, and making the commit message body flush left. This actually makes the output slightly closer to the `hg log` output. -Manny -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
