git-rev-tree(1)

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-rev-tree - Provides the revision tree for one or more commits
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-rev-tree' [--edges] [--cache <cache-file>] [^]<commit> [[^]<commit>]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Provides the revision tree for one or more commits.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
--edges::
|
|
Show edges (ie places where the marking changes between parent
|
|
and child)
|
|
|
|
--cache <cache-file>::
|
|
Use the specified file as a cache from a previous git-rev-list run
|
|
to speed things up. Note that this "cache" is totally different
|
|
concept from the directory index. Also this option is not
|
|
implemented yet.
|
|
|
|
[^]<commit>::
|
|
The commit id to trace (a leading caret means to ignore this
|
|
commit-id and below)
|
|
|
|
Output
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
<date> <commit>:<flags> [<parent-commit>:<flags> ]\*
|
|
|
|
<date>::
|
|
Date in 'seconds since epoch'
|
|
|
|
<commit>::
|
|
id of commit object
|
|
|
|
<parent-commit>::
|
|
id of each parent commit object (>1 indicates a merge)
|
|
|
|
<flags>::
|
|
|
|
The flags are read as a bitmask representing each commit
|
|
provided on the commandline. eg: given the command:
|
|
|
|
$ git-rev-tree <com1> <com2> <com3>
|
|
|
|
The output:
|
|
|
|
<date> <commit>:5
|
|
|
|
means that <commit> is reachable from <com1>(1) and <com3>(4)
|
|
|
|
A revtree can get quite large. "git-rev-tree" will eventually allow
|
|
you to cache previous state so that you don't have to follow the whole
|
|
thing down.
|
|
|
|
So the change difference between two commits is literally
|
|
|
|
git-rev-tree [commit-id1] > commit1-revtree
|
|
git-rev-tree [commit-id2] > commit2-revtree
|
|
join -t : commit1-revtree commit2-revtree > common-revisions
|
|
|
|
(this is also how to find the most common parent - you'd look at just
|
|
the head revisions - the ones that aren't referred to by other
|
|
revisions - in "common-revision", and figure out the best one. I
|
|
think.)
