I had some doubts that I was seeing all the changes from all developers, so I did some testing.
(I ran a git log command after each step to see what changes would show up.)
Step 1: Add a new file, and commit locally:
Mon Jul 11 21:05:41 2016 - Colin Nicholls : (Testing) Added a file locally
A misc_scripts/Testing_git_log.txt
Step 2: Pull from remote to refresh locally
Step 3: Push my local changes to the remote (origin).
Step 4: Edit the file, and commit. I misunderstood the use of the [x] Amend Last commit checkbox…
Mon Jul 11 21:10:28 2016 - Colin Nicholls : (Testing) Editing a file locally
A misc_scripts/Testing_git_log.txt
Note that the time-stamp has changed, and the comment text, but it is the same “Add” operation.
Step 5: Edit the file again, and commit. (This time, I did not use the [ ] Amend last commit, and I commented thusly:
Mon Jul 11 21:10:28 2016 - Colin Nicholls : (Testing) Editing a file locally
A misc_scripts/Testing_git_log.txt
Mon Jul 11 21:12:43 2016 - Colin Nicholls : (testing) [ ] Amend last commit (did not check)
M misc_scripts/Testing_git_log.txt
Step 6: Do a push to remote repository:
git.exe push --progress "origin" master:master
To https://github.abacab.com/zyxx/zyxx-db.git
! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.abacab.com/zyxx/zyxx-db.git'
hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind
hint: its remote counterpart. Integrate the remote changes (e.g.
hint: 'git pull ...') before pushing again.
hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.
git did not exit cleanly (exit code 1) (1981 ms @ 7/11/2016 13:14:39)
OK, I don’t understand why “the tip of my current branch is behind its remote counterpart”, but it is telling me I should do another pull before pushing, so:
Step 7: Pull from the remote to update locally:
git.exe pull --progress --no-rebase -v "origin"
From https://github.abacab.com/zyxx/zyxx-db

= [up to date] cmp13_convert -> origin/cmp13_convert

Auto-merging misc_scripts/Testing_git_log.txt
CONFLICT (add/add): Merge conflict in misc_scripts/Testing_git_log.txt
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.
git did not exit cleanly (exit code 1) (2231 ms @ 7/11/2016 13:15:42)
Now I’m in conflict with myself!?
Step 8: At this point, I resolved the conflict by selecting “mine” over “theirs”, and did another local commit. This time I got a special “merge commit” dialog that didn’t show any specific changed files, but clearly wanted to do something.
So what does the log say at this point?

Interesting:
- The first edit operation has now returned to the log. It looks as though we have two “Add” operations.
- We get a generic “merge branch” message as the most recent log entry.
- Also, the time-stamps aren’t “local” time, at least, not my local time (it’s 13:25 PDT currently)
Step 9: Pull; delete test file; commit; push

D misc_scripts/Testing_git_log.txt
This needs further testing, perhaps, but I’m going to return to billable work at this point.
