Is it possible to get one line per commit from this? I can only get one line per file.

By one line per commit, I mean something along the lines of:

    56c6861 - add reflist (4 months ago: joe) Joe/Manu.bbl Joe/Manu.bib Joe/Manu.bst ...
    5ed70cc - (origin/master) add tests; change .gitignore (5 months ago: cas) ./.gitignore test/integ.lua test/refs ...
    d3c5de1 - replace Manifest; add converter (5 months ago: cas) ./Manifest maked/tex2html.lua maked/tex2html.cfg

Apologies for not responding on this. I am not aware of anything that does this right off... Would probably be pretty easy to script. If you are still interested, I could probably get the basics of this rolling.

Thanks. I can script this as well - there's nothing fundamentally tricky here, but generating nice output is usually fiddly.
