Lets Suppose the git log has the following commits

commit15
commit14
commit13
commit12
commit11
commit10
.
.
.
commit1

I tried saving the git log till commit 14 to a file by

git log --pretty=format:'%h|%H|%an|%ai|%s' $commitid | grep -v "Merge branch 'master' of" > 'path to log file which should contain git log till that Commitid'

This is working fine except for one case,i.e.

When commit12 and commit13 were pushed after pulling with git pull --rebase,when i try to save the git log till commit14 using git log commit14 i cant see the commits12 and commits13 but when i try to log till commit15 using git log commit15 the commits 12 and 13 are listed under commit14

I understand the problem is with --rebase,Is there any way i can log the commits till a particular id even it has commits below it which have been rebased onto the top of it? (I saw the git repo, commit12 and commit13 are listed under commit14)

it seems like part of your question is missing: "when i try to... ??" – Chris Maes Nov 05 '14 at 07:54
@ChrisMaes it was a mistake i pressed Ctrl+enter when editing question.i am done with editing Please look into the question – sarat Nov 05 '14 at 08:02
your question is still hard to understand. I guess the problem is you want your log to be ordered according to creation date and not their place in the tree? – Chris Maes Nov 05 '14 at 08:30
eg 12 and 13 were created before 14; but due to rebase they appear AFTER 14.. is that your problem? – Chris Maes Nov 05 '14 at 08:30
you can try the --author-date-order option: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18871907/2082964 – Chris Maes Nov 05 '14 at 08:32
@Yeah i tried --author-date-order its showing unrecognized argument, – sarat Nov 05 '14 at 08:56
it only exists since git 1.8.4.... can you update your git? – Chris Maes Nov 05 '14 at 09:58
