Thanks, I format the kwargs and rev to make proper param, that works. from begining I do not understand kwargs meaning

By the way ,I modified your example for multi-repo use case, the codeline
commits = (self.repo.commit(logEntry) for logEntry in self.repo.iter_commits())
may failed to catch exception for error handel(I guess lambda made exception not catchable) , if gitpython api raised one
In my case the git rev-list may face rev not exist issue in multi repo , I modified it to list way to handle exception

Yeah I'm no python expert, I actually barley use it. I would just try and error my way through the kwargs.

Sounds reasonable. I used the (.. for key in ... ) form because the documentation says it's lazy. I was working with quite big repositories. Creating a list upfront was consuming to much RAM (in my cases). But if it works for you, all good :D
