Question

I need to retrieve all commits from all branches. I retrieve them using command:

git log --pretty="%H %f" --all

But in this case Git returns me all commits with notes, if such exist. I tried to use something like the following:

 git log --pretty="%H %f" --all --no-notes

It looks like the command “–all” overrides “–no-notes” and nothing will happen.

Please advise how can I retrieve all commits from all branches without notes?

P.S. Yes, I could execute “git notes”, parse them and then subtract from “git log –all”, but it seems to me there should be a much easier solution for such a trivial situation.

As you said, --all overrides --no-notes. So you may want to split --all to include only refs you want. If you just want to show all the branches:

git log --pretty="%H %f" --no-notes --branches

or if you want more:

git log --pretty="%H %f" --no-notes --branches --tags --remote
