| # attempting to be the most robust solution for outputting git log as JSON, | |
| # using only `git` and the standard shell functions, without requiring | |
| # additional software. | |
| # - uses traditional JSON camelCase | |
| # - includes every major field that git log can output, including the body | |
| # - proper sections for author, committer, and signature | |
| # - multiple date formats (one for reading, ISO for parsing) | |
| # - should properly handle (most? all?) body values, even those that contain | |
| # quotation marks and escaped characters |
