2007-02-03show-branch -g: default to the current branch.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+5
Now we have a separate reflog on HEAD, show-branch -g without an explicit parameter defaults to the current branch, or HEAD when it is detached from branches. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-24reflog inspection: introduce shortcut "-g"Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+3
A short-hand "-g" for "git log --walk-reflogs" and "git show-branch --reflog" makes it easier to access the reflog info. [jc: added -g to show-branch for symmetry] Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-19show-branch --reflog: show the reflog message at the top.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+12
This changes the output so the list at the top shows the reflog message, along with their relative timestamps. You can use --reflog=<n> to show <n> most recent log entries, or use --reflog=<n>,<b> to show <n> entries going back from the entry <b>. <b> can be either a number (so --reflog=4,20 shows 4 records starting from @{20}) or a timestamp (e.g. --reflog='4,1 day'). Here is a sample output (with --list option): $ git show-branch --reflog=10 --list jc/show-reflog [jc/show-reflog@{0}] (3 minutes ago) commit (amend): show-branch --ref [jc/show-reflog@{1}] (5 minutes ago) reset HEAD^ [jc/show-reflog@{2}] (14 minutes ago) commit: show-branch --reflog: sho [jc/show-reflog@{3}] (14 minutes ago) commit: show-branch --reflog: sho [jc/show-reflog@{4}] (18 minutes ago) commit (amend): Extend read_ref_a [jc/show-reflog@{5}] (18 minutes ago) commit (amend): Extend read_ref_a [jc/show-reflog@{6}] (18 minutes ago) commit (amend): Extend read_ref_a [jc/show-reflog@{7}] (18 minutes ago) am: read_ref_at(): allow retrievi [jc/show-reflog@{8}] (18 minutes ago) reset --hard HEAD~4 [jc/show-reflog@{9}] (61 minutes ago) commit: show-branch --reflog: use This shows what I did more cleanly: $ git show-branch --reflog=10 jc/show-reflog !

I first saved them with "format-patch -4", and then did a reset at @{8}. At @{7}, I applied one of them with "am", and then used "git-apply" on the other one, and amended the commit at @{6} (so @{6} and @{7} has the same parent). I did not like the log message, so I amended again at @{5}. Then I cherry-picked @{9}~2 to create @{3} (the log message shows that it needs to learn to set GIT_REFLOG_ACTION -- it uses "git-commit" and the log entry is attributed for it). Another cherry-pick built @{2} out of @{9}, but what I wanted to do was to squash these two into one, so I did a "reset HEAD^" at @{1} and then made the final commit by amending what was at the top.

2006-12-22Make git-show-branch options similar to git-branch.Libravatar Brian Gernhardt1-4/+6
Branch has "-r" for remote branches and "-a" for local and remote. It seems logical to mirror that in show-branch. Also removes the dubiously useful "--tags" option (as part of changing the meaning for "--all").

Add a quick paragraph explaining the --topics option for show-branch. The explanation is an abbreviated version of the commit message from d320a5437f8304cf9ea3ee1898e49d643e005738. Signed-off-by: Brian Gernhardt <benji@silverinsanity.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-01-15show-branch: --current includes the current branch.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+11
With this, the command includes the current branch to the list of revs to be shown when it is not given on the command line. This is handy to use in the configuration file like this: [showbranch] default = --current default = heads/* ; primary branches, not topics under ; subdirectories Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-01-15show-branch: make the current branch and merge commits stand out.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+8
This changes the character used to mark the commits that is on the branch from '+' to '*' for the current branch, to make it stand out. Also we show '-' for merge commits. When you have a handful branches with relatively long diversion, it is easier to see which one is the current branch this way. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-12-04show-branch: allow glob pattern to name branches to show.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+17
With this, you can say "git-show-branch topic/* master" to show all the topic branches you have under .git/refs/heads/topic/ and your master branch. Another example is "git-show-branch --list v1.0*" to show all the v1.0 tags. You can disambiguate by saying "heads/topic/*" to show only topic branches if you have tags under .git/refs/tags/topic/ as well. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-10-11show-branch: optionally use unique prefix as name.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-16/+10
git-show-branch acquires two new options. --sha1-name to name commits using the unique prefix of their object names, and --no-name to not to show names at all. This was outlined in <7vk6gpyuyr.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-09-09show-branch: --list and --independentLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+14
The --list option is what 'git branch' without parameter should have been; it shows the one-line commit message for each branch name. The --independent option is used to filter out commits that can be reachable from other commits, to make detection of fast forward condition in multi-head merge easier.

2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.

When showing only one branch a lot of default output becomes redundant, so clean it up a bit, and document what is shown. Retire the earlier implementation "git-show-branches-script". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
