How can I invert

as you can see in this anwser, you could use a perl regex:

git log --perl-regexp --author='^((?!excluded-author-regex).*)$'

EDIT a hack if you cannot use perl:

git log --oneline --pretty=format:"%h %an %s" | grep -v "Author Name"

This is what I tried. But I " cannot use Perl-compatible regexes when not compiled with USE_LIBPCRE" – ToBe Mar 18 '15 at 09:53
I added a hack to work around this obstacle... don't know if you have grep at your disposal? – Chris Maes Mar 18 '15 at 10:05
Yes grep is available – ToBe Mar 18 '15 at 10:07
Thanks, this was the idea i was looking for. Using %an in the format and grep. :-) – ToBe Mar 18 '15 at 10:10
