2011-04-15Documentation: update to git-merge-base --octopusVincent van Ravesteijn
Unlike plain merge-base, merge-base --octopus only requires at least one commit argument; update the synopsis to reflect that. Add a sentence to the discussion that when --octopus is used, we do expect '2' (the common ansestor across all) as the result.

2010-08-18merge-base --independent to print reduced parent list in a mergeJonathan Nieder
While show-branch --independent does not support more than MAX_REVS revs, git internally supports more with a different algorithm. Expose that functionality as "git merge-base --independent". This should help scripts to catch up with builtin merge in supporting dodecapus. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-08-18merge-base --octopus to mimic show-branch --merge-baseJonathan Nieder
While show-branch --merge-base does not support more than MAX_REVS revs, git supports more with a different algorithm (v1.6.0-rc0~51^2~13, Introduce get_octopus_merge_bases() in commit.c, 2008-06-27). Expose that functionality. This should help scripts to catch up with builtin merge in supporting dodecapus.

2010-02-22Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectoryLinus Torvalds
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n) [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab> builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c you get [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type] builtin/ builtin.h [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to] [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type] shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to] [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type] shortlog.c shortlog.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief. NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off around 100 choices or something. So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
