Hello,
I'm trying to use "git log" to generate ChangeLog for a project
recently migrated from CVS.
The problem is that
git log --summary --stat --no-merges --date=short --decorate=short
behaves differently when the result is displayed on screen and when it
is piped to a file.
For example, running the commands:
a) git log --summary --stat --no-merges --date=short
--decorate=short e9f65aa976
b) git log --summary --stat --no-merges --date=short
--decorate=short e9f65aa976 > /tmp/log.txt
would result in two different outputs:
a)

The project where the results could be easily reproduced is the following:
https://github.com/AquaTerm/AquaTerm
git://github.com/AquaTerm/AquaTerm.git
It is possible that I screwed up something when importing the project
from CVS. In that case I would be happy if someone could point me out
what exactly I did wrong, and I can still rewrite the history before
the first release of the project using git.
But in any case I find it weird that I get two different outputs.
I would be grateful for any clues or hints about what goes wrong.

The only difference that I see is the formatting. ("..." is merely an
abbreviation for a leading path.)
a) probes your terminal for the number of columns and uses all available
space.
b) goes to a file and has no connected terminal, thus uses a default
column number. You can change that number using
COLUMNS=YourNumber git log YourArgs > YourFile

You can also pass a width to --stat. See the git log manpage for details
about which widths you can override.

Wow, perfect, thank you very much. Setting COLUMNS=200 (the high
number just in case) solved the problem.

200 ought to be enough for everybody? PATH_MAX is never enough...
