<p>A log format controls how information about each revision is displayed.
The standard log formats are compared below:</p>

<p>The default format is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">long</span></code>. To change this, define the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">log_format</span></code>
setting in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">[DEFAULT]</span></code> section of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bazaar.conf</span></code> like this (say):</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">[</span><span class="n">DEFAULT</span><span class="p">]</span>
<span class="n">log_format</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">short</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Alternatively, to change the log format used for a given query, use the
–long, –short or –line options.</p>
<p>If one of the standard log formats does not meet your needs, additional
formats can be provided by plugins.</p>
