Description

Description

I would like to change the commit log format to only show hash and author. I have tried adding the --pretty flag to the default args for the DiffViewFileHistory but it doesn't work.

default_args {
      DiffviewFileHistory = { "--base=LOCAL" , "--pretty=format..."},
}

Expected behavior

No response

Actual behavior

Log format in the FileHistoryPanel cannot be changed
