The format I described, namedly: commit 0a18e15598274b79ce14342ce0bfb76a87dadb45 Author: Kevin Wells Date: Tue Aug 17 17:45:04 2010 -0700 is the default format of git-log(1). (Commits which are merges will laso have a Merge: header.) The --pretty=email format should already be handled as it looks like an mbox. The default is --pretty=medium. The --pretty=full version replaces Date: with Commit: naming the user who committed the commit. :^) And --pretty=fuller adds AuthorDate: and CommitDate: headers. Oh, --pretty=raw is much more machine readable. Sometimes the commit mail will be a summary. Mesa does that with big merge commits; some other projects use thier script. But other than those summaries, I've only seen the default (--pretty= medium) used in commit emails. (Oh, and if the script does not already, it should use the -M -C options to condense the report of renames and copies.) -JimC
