    copied!<p>I have a simple test repository with just several commits and want to see the date&amp;time filtered log:</p> <pre> $ git log --author="automatix" --since="2013-01-30" --pretty -- test commit ea0719bef142659fa561c9d040b2120012ed0184 Date: Thu Jan 31 02:03:12 2013 +0100 commit ab4a8387bc4d9bdb4f67212df77eb1fc3d8b6304 Date: Thu Jan 31 01:59:11 2013 +0100 commit a0b027beba2cd03571bb9475b9db9542f8efe990 Date: Thu Jan 31 01:50:38 2013 +0100 commit add77c8fe2ba9254c11b98e14facede3420dc51c Date: Thu Jan 31 01:48:34 2013 +0100 commit e6e323c05d37c74fcabeb9186b95c0d49b862e6f Date: Thu Jan 31 01:46:27 2013 +0100 commit 8c286391e54d3fc1e210950b1320fd6f013a8f84 Date: Thu Jan 31 01:41:27 2013 +0100 commit 9c880595e57f717383796fa2940f41f0f42f7e2a Date: Thu Jan 31 01:38:17 2013 +0100 commit a95527f36a533e1ecba1aadceea31a9dcbe1a8db Date: Thu Jan 31 01:30:00 2013 +0100 </pre> <p>The first selected commit is <code>a95527f36a533e1ecba1aadceea31a9dcbe1a8db</code> from <code>2013-01-30 01:30:00</code>. 8 commits are selected:</p> <pre> $ git log --author="automatix" --since="2013-01-30" --format=oneline -- test | wc 8 34 498 </pre> <p>OK. Now I select since <code>2013-01-31</code>:</p> <pre> $ git log --author="automatix" --since="2013-01-31" --format=oneline -- test | wc 0 0 0 </pre> <p>What? Ok, that should mean, that the <code>since</code> rule <em>excludes</em> the commits of the startdate. Right?</p> <p>But let's go on:</p> <pre>$ git log --author="automatix" --since="2013-01-31 01:30:00" --pretty -- test commit ea0719bef142659fa561c9d040b2120012ed0184 Date: Thu Jan 31 02:03:12 2013 +0100 commit ab4a8387bc4d9bdb4f67212df77eb1fc3d8b6304 Date: Thu Jan 31 01:59:11 2013 +0100 commit a0b027beba2cd03571bb9475b9db9542f8efe990 Date: Thu Jan 31 01:50:38 2013 +0100 commit add77c8fe2ba9254c11b98e14facede3420dc51c Date: Thu Jan 31 01:48:34 2013 +0100 commit e6e323c05d37c74fcabeb9186b95c0d49b862e6f Date: Thu Jan 31 01:46:27 2013 +0100 commit 8c286391e54d3fc1e210950b1320fd6f013a8f84 Date: Thu Jan 31 01:41:27 2013 +0100 commit 9c880595e57f717383796fa2940f41f0f42f7e2a Date: Thu Jan 31 01:38:17 2013 +0100 commit a95527f36a533e1ecba1aadceea31a9dcbe1a8db Date: Thu Jan 31 01:30:00 2013 +0100 </pre> <pre>$ git log --author="automatix" --since="2013-01-31 01:30:00" --format=oneline -- test | wc 8 34 498 </pre> <p>Now, when I'm writing the starttime as well, the commits of the starttime are <em>included</em> .</p> <p>I don't understand the logic. Can anybody explain, why it works so strange?</p> <p>Thanks</p>
