-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.)
