Get the commits made by specific authors (more than one)

If I want to get Alice's commits I use git log --author 'Alice'. But what if I want to include there Bob's commits as well?

I tried the following:

git log --author 'Alice|Bob'
git log --author 'Alice,Bob'

Try it with the same argument multiple times:

git log --author 'alice' --author 'bob'

edit: If Git is compiled with the right flags (USE_LIBPCRE) you can pass the option --perl-regexp so the pattern for search is interpreted as a regular expression:

git log --perl-regexp --author 'alice|bob'

...Found more: Git interprets all patterns in the options as regex. Only if you want to use Perl compatible regex you need the option --perl-regexp. But if you want to use normal regex, you have to escape the "or":

git log --author 'alice\|bob'
