Source Code

;; Defined in /usr/src/emacs/lisp/vc/vc-git.el.gz
;; It's a weird option due to how Git handles '--follow', and it can
;; hide certain (usually merge) commits in the `vc-print-log' buffers.
;;
;; (setq vc-git-log-switches '("-m")) can fix that, but at the cost of
;; duplicating many merge commits in the log.
;;
