Can I know who are the makers of branch?

[seonguk.baek]

Deal all.

We can know who made tag or commit by tagger or committer.

Can I know who create a branch?

Thanks.

You may be able to get what you are looking for from the reflog. For
example `git reflog show name` or just `cat
logs/refs/{heads,tags}/name`.

Thanks for your reply :-)

It's working thanks.

In addition, someone deleted branch like 'git push :branchname'

Can I know who are deleted branch?

Thank you. d:-)

Only if you can dig up the offending receive-pack command from sshd_log.
There is no explicit logging of ref delete operations, and if the
deletion is made from the UI there's AFAICT no success logging at all.
There probably should be.

You are not the first to ask this, and I think this is a very legitimate request. I suggest that you post a request to log deletes to the GIT mailing list since it would be good to get this defined at the GIT level.

How would this be defined at the Git level, given that Git doesn't
perform any logging besides stdout/stderr messages? Are you saying Git
should say something about performed deletions in the receive-pack
output that's (I guess) fed back to clients?

I think Gerrit's logging can be improved in general, but that's a
topic for another thread.

I am thinking that this should be added to the reflog if it is not already. If you go back and read Shawn's reply you will notice that most branches operations are logged to a branch specific log, I believe that is standard git, not just jgit? The problem is that when the branch is deleted, so is this log! If jgit is indeed just mimicking git's behavior here, then it would help to get the git community to fix this first,

It'd be nice if that delete info was stored in the reflogs somehow.

Yup.

Right. When you said "log" I was thinking /var/log/syslog, not reflog.
I vaguely recall this being discussed on the Git list quite recently.
I'll look at it and post a question if necessary.

It could, if you ask it.

core.logAllRefUpdates = true

Putting option behind a 'git config' command will make git log ref updates in logs/refs/$REFNAME if I understood things correctly.
Not sure which git version it was introduced in.

Undoubtedly it could use some better presentation than in a file on the server side git, granted.

I agree on this too, it was not easy as an administrator to get in to gerrit logs. It's still too programmatic in many senses.

Indeed, this was discussed on git@vger about three weeks ago.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/196962

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/135837/focus=150778
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/135837/focus=150734

While I do agree that native Git support for deletion reflogs would
be nice, I don't know if the reflog should be the only source of
information for ref deletions and other interesting events. A reflog
is okay if you need to dig into a specific git and a specific ref, but
if you want an aggregation of such events it's not very convenient.
