The default format is ``long``. To change this, define the ``log_format``
25
setting in the ``[DEFAULT]`` section of ``bazaar.conf`` like this (say)::
26
27
  [DEFAULT]
28
  log_format = short

Alternatively, to change the log format used for a given query, use the
31
--long, --short or --line options.

If one of the standard log formats does not meet your needs, additional
34
formats can be provided by plugins.
