Merge pull request #17843 from bradcray/updateGITLOG-script
Add file for capturing git log of '.' to GITLOG file in (my) personally preferred format
[trivial, not reviewed]
Those who've been with the project for awhile may recall updateSVNLOG which was a little script that dumped the SVN commits into a file for browsing. When we switched to git, I was shamed by those more git-knowledgeable into not creating a similar updateGITLOG script because git log was so powerful and flexible that I'd never want for it again. But the fact of the matter is that I created and have been using my own updateGITLOG script for years—even though I also use git log there are times when surfing through a text file of the merge commits seems most productive to me, and the options I use to generate it aren't succinct or memorable enough for me to learn not to use the script.
While using it in a demo today, I was asked "where does that live in the repo?" which made me realize that I'm not ashamed to be using it anymore, and am tired of copying it around from each repo or computer I use to the next. So this PR proposes adding it to util/devel/updateGITLOG.
What does the output look like? See the OP in Add file for capturing `git log` of '.' to GITLOG file in (my) personally preferred format by bradcray · Pull Request #17843 · chapel-lang/chapel · GitHub for an example.
