daily jobs? Hm, maybe that's the mistake. This is FreeBSD, this ought
to be fun! (I don't have a job, I don't get a job, I'm just normal
unemployed trash :/ ). But to answer your question:

What I did, is put this into /usr/local/etc/gitconfig:
[alias]
	dir = log --topo-order --compact-summary --pretty=fuller

This is slow, but it gives a log output that is more exhaustive,
and similar to the one I could get from SVN.

But then, self-creating sourcefiles are always a bit difficult.
At least people here are quite strict with the naming, so the
appearance of a second dot in in a sourcefile name should give
an alert that something unkosher is going on.

Cheerio!
