Re: [orion-dev] `git log` behaviour in Orion...

[Remy Suen <remy.suen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ah. So the problem is when you said "I wouldn't do this by default
since this is expensive on a repository with a long history.", I had
taken that to mean "the CLI and JGit doesn't do this by default so you
shouldn't do it either". That is why I was surprised to see the CLI
and JGit output a log with three commits instead of just one.

I see now that you simply meant "I suggest you not do this by default
in Orion" and were not making any claims as to how the CLI or JGit
behaved. Is this correct?

Regards,
Remy
