git log [options] [--] [path]

• -p — show the diff (patch)

• --since / --until — commits more recent (or older) than given date
• --stat — abbreviated stats (adds/deletes, modified files)
• --pretty=thing — Make output pretty. Things include oneline, short, medium, full, fuller, (no fullest), email, raw, format:, tformat: . use tformat if you want a newline at the end of the log
• --graph — draw those funky git branch gtaphs
• --author / --committer — filter on specific dude / dudette
• --grep — filter on keywords in commit messages
• --all-match — Turn multiple predicates from OR into AND

Format Options

• %H / %h — hash (shortened)
• %T / %t — tree hash (shortened)
• %P / %p — parent hash (shortened)
• %an / %ae / %ad / %ar — Author name, email, date (relative)

Date format can be specific (1961-01-13), or relative ("4 years 23 months"). Can replace spaces with dots: 4.years.23.months. The actual format is undocumented (OF COURSE), but you can look at the approxidate code.
