2011-02-22Introduce CHERRY_PICK_HEADJay Soffian
When a cherry-pick conflicts git advises: $ git commit -c <original commit id> to preserve the original commit message and authorship. Instead, let's record the original commit id in CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and advise: $ git commit -c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD A later patch teaches git to handle the '-c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD' part. Note that we record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD even in the case where there are no conflicts so that we may use it to communicate authorship to commit; this will then allow us to remove set_author_ident_env from revert.c. However, we do not record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD when --no-commit is used, as presumably the user intends to further edit the commit and possibly even cherry-pick additional commits on top. Tests and documentation contributed by Jonathan Nieder.

2010-12-15get_sha1: support $commit^{/regex} syntaxNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
This works like ":/regex" syntax that finds a recently created commit starting from all refs, but limits the discovery to those reachable from the named commit. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-12-07get_sha1: support relative path ":path" syntaxNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
Currently :path and ref:path can be used to refer to a specific object in index or ref respectively. "path" component is absolute path. This patch allows "path" to be written as "./path" or "../path", which is relative to user's original cwd. This does not work in commands for which startup_info is NULL (i.e. non-builtin ones, it seems none of them needs this anyway).

2010-07-05Documentation: split off rev doc into include fileMichael J Gruber
Currently, the documentation for revisions and ranges sits in the git-rev-parse man page, i.e. a plumbing man page, along with the documentation of all rev-parse modes. Split off the revisions and ranges section into an included file to prepare for restructuring.
