git-rev-tree(1)
===============
v0.1, May 2005
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.)
