From a2ed6ae402582a3ee76e9b4639848eba261a12de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 10:07:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] git-log --author and --committer are not left-anchored by default I know that I'd prefer a rule where "--author=^Junio" would result in the grep-pattern being "^author Junio", but without the initial '^' it would be "^author .*Junio".
