2006-09-05Teach rev-list an option to read revs from the standard input.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
When --stdin option is given, in addition to the <rev>s listed on the command line, the command can read one rev parameter per line from the standard input. The list of revs ends at the first empty line or EOF. Note that you still have to give all the flags from the command line; only rev arguments (including A..B, A...B, and A^@ notations) can be give from the standard input.

2006-07-01Add '...' operator for revisionsLibravatar Rene Scharfe1-0/+14
'A...B' is a shortcut for 'A B --not $(git-merge-base --all A B)'. This XOR-like operation is called symmetric difference in set theory. The symbol '...' has been chosen because it's rather similar to the existing '..' operator and the somewhat more natural caret ('^') is already taken.

2006-03-04Merge branch 'lt/rev-list' into nextLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-48/+1
* lt/rev-list: setup_revisions(): handle -n<n> and -<n> internally. git-log (internal): more options. git-log (internal): add approxidate. Rip out merge-order and make "git log <paths>..." work again. Tie it all together: "git log" Introduce trivial new pager.c helper infrastructure git-rev-list libification: rev-list walking Splitting rev-list into revisions lib, end of beginning. rev-list split: minimum fixup. First cut at libifying revlist generation

2006-03-01Rip out merge-order and make "git log <paths>..." work again.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-48/+1
Well, assuming breaking --merge-order is fine, here's a patch (on top of the other ones) that makes git log <filename> actually work, as far as I can tell. I didn't add the logic for --before/--after flags, but that should be pretty trivial, and is independent of this anyway. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-10-03[PATCH] Random documentation fixesLibravatar Jonas Fonseca1-34/+38
The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy: - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on included files. - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional info. - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc. - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text. - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----) for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML block. - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists. - Fix linking to other GIT docs. - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.

2005-09-16[PATCH] PATCH Documentation/git-rev-list.txt typo fixLibravatar Peter Hagervall1-2/+5
An earlier commit causes a mismatch in <emphasis> and <superscript> tags, one way of fixing it is having no more than one caret symbol per line, which is the only solution I found in the asciidoc documentation. Ugly, but it works. [jc: ugly indeed but that is not Peter's fault.] Signed-off-by: Peter Hagervall <hager@cs.umu.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-06-08[PATCH] Tidy up some rev-list-related stuffLibravatar Petr Baudis1-18/+33
This patch tidies up the git-rev-list documentation and epoch.c, which are in severe clash with the unwritten coding style now, and quite unreadable. It also fixes up compile failures with older compilers due to variable declarations after code. The patch mostly wraps lines before or on the 80th column, removes plenty of superfluous empty lines and changes comments from // to /* */.

2005-06-06[PATCH] Modify git-rev-list to linearise the commit history in merge order.Libravatar jon@blackcubes.dyndns.org1-1/+29
This patch linearises the GIT commit history graph into merge order which is defined by invariants specified in Documentation/git-rev-list.txt. The linearisation produced by this patch is superior in an objective sense to that produced by the existing git-rev-list implementation in that the linearisation produced is guaranteed to have the minimum number of discontinuities, where a discontinuity is defined as an adjacent pair of commits in the output list which are not related in a direct child-parent relationship. With this patch a graph like this: a4 --- | \ \ | b4 | |/ | | a3 | | | | | a2 | | | | c3 | | | | | c2 | b3 | | | /| | b2 | | | c1 | | / | b1 a1 | | | a0 | | / root Sorts like this: = a4 | c3 | c2 | c1 ^ b4 | b3 | b2 | b1 ^ a3 | a2 | a1 | a0 = root Instead of this: = a4 | c3 ^ b4 | a3 ^ c2 ^ b3 ^ a2 ^ b2 ^ c1 ^ a1 ^ b1 ^ a0 = root A test script, t/t6000-rev-list.sh, includes a test which demonstrates that the linearisation produced by --merge-order has less discontinuities than the linearisation produced by git-rev-list without the --merge-order flag specified. To see this, do the following: cd t ./t6000-rev-list.sh cd trash cat actual-default-order cat actual-merge-order The existing behaviour of git-rev-list is preserved, by default. To obtain the modified behaviour, specify --merge-order or --merge-order --show-breaks on the command line. This version of the patch has been tested on the git repository and also on the linux-2.6 repository and has reasonable performance on both - ~50-100% slower than the original algorithm. This version of the patch has incorporated a functional equivalent of the Linus' output limiting algorithm into the merge-order algorithm itself. This operates per the notes associated with Linus' commit 337cb3fb8da45f10fe9a0c3cf571600f55ead2ce. This version has incorporated Linus' feedback regarding proposed changes to rev-list.c. (see: [PATCH] Factor out filtering in rev-list.c) This version has improved the way sort_first_epoch marks commits as uninteresting. For more details about this change, refer to Documentation/git-rev-list.txt and http://blackcubes.dyndns.org/epoch/.
