This + flag tells the command to go <n> commits beyond that. + +--merge-base:: + Instead of showing the commit list, just act like the + 'git-merge-base' command except that it can accept more + than two heads. + + +OUTPUT +------ +Given N <references>, the first N lines are the one-line +description from their commit message. The branch head that is +pointed at by $GIT_DIR/HEAD is prefixed with an asterisk '*' +character while other heads are prefixed with a '!' character. + +Following these N lines, one-line log for each commit is +displayed, indented N places. If a commit is on the I-th +branch, the I-th indentation character shows a '+' sign; +otherwise it shows a space. Each commit shows a short name that +can be used as an exended SHA1 to name that commit. + +The following example shows three branches, "master", "fixes" +and "mhf": + +------------------------------------------------ +$ git show-branch master fixes mhf +! [master] Add 'git show-branch'. + ! [fixes] Introduce "reset type" flag to "git reset" + ! [mhf] Allow "+remote:local" refspec to cause --force when fetching. +--- + + [mhf] Allow "+remote:local" refspec to cause --force when fetching. + + [mhf~1] Use git-octopus when pulling more than one heads. + + [fixes] Introduce "reset type" flag to "git reset" + + [mhf~2] "git fetch --force". + + [mhf~3] Use .git/remote/origin, not .git/branches/origin. + + [mhf~4] Make "git pull" and "git fetch" default to origin + + [mhf~5] Infamous 'octopus merge' + + [mhf~6] Retire git-parse-remote. + + [mhf~7] Multi-head fetch. + + [mhf~8] Start adding the $GIT_DIR/remotes/ support. ++++ [master] Add 'git show-branch'. +------------------------------------------------ + +These three branches all forked from a common commit, [master], +whose commit message is "Add 'git show-branch'. "fixes" branch +adds one commit 'Introduce "reset type"'. "mhf" branch has many +other commits. + +When only one head is given, the output format changes slightly +to conserve space. The '+' sign to show which commit is +reachable from which head and the first N lines to show the list +of heads being displayed are both meaningless so they are +omitted. Also the label given to each commit does not repeat +the name of the branch because it is obvious. + +------------------------------------------------ +$ git show-branch --more=4 master +[master] Add 'git show-branch'. +[~1] Add a new extended SHA1 syntax <name>~<num> +[~2] Fix "git-diff-script A B" +[~3] git-ls-files: generalized pathspecs +[~4] Make "git-ls-files" work in subdirectories +------------------------------------------------ + +Author +------ +Written by Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> + + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by Junio C Hamano. + + +GIT +--- +Part of the link:git.html[git] suite |
