Git blame output format

[ferdinandyb]

Would my assumption be correct that fugitive just displays whatever is output by git blame? So if I'd want to have something like names abbreviated or at least limited to x characters then git would need to support this? Looking at man git-blame I don't think it does.

Why I'm asking this is that the window opened by :Git blame is rather large. And in smaller projects initials would be more than enough. The date is long too, but it seems blame does have a configuration option for modifying that.

These following configurations might be better, I didn't find anything better

" Open GitBlame
function! OpenGitBlame()
    exe "Git blame --date=short"
    nmap <buffer> <silent> q :q<CR>
endfunction

nmap <leader>;a :call OpenGitBlame()<CR>
