Parse outputs of `git log`

git-parser.php

<?php
function parseLog($log) {
	$lines = explode("\n", $log);
	$history = array();
	foreach($lines as $key => $line) {
		if(strpos($line, 'commit') === 0 || $key + 1 == count($lines)){
			if(!empty($commit)){
				$commit['message'] = substr($commit['message'], 4);
				array_push($history, $commit);	
				unset($commit);
			}
			$commit['hash'] = substr($line, strlen('commit') + 1);
		} else if(strpos($line, 'Author') === 0){
			$commit['author'] = substr($line, strlen('Author:') + 1);
		} else if(strpos($line, 'Date') === 0){
			$commit['date'] = substr($line, strlen('Date:') + 3);
		} elseif (strpos($line, 'Merge') === 0) {
			$commit['merge'] = substr($line, strlen('Merge:') + 1);
			$commit['merge'] = explode(' ', $commit['merge']);
		} else {
			if(isset($commit['message'])) {
				$commit['message'] .= $line;
			} else {
				$commit['message'] = $line;
			}
		}
	}
	return $history;
}

Works a treat for me too
