2005-10-14format-patch: take sequence of ranges.Junio C Hamano
This enhances set of revs you can give format-patch. Originally, format-patch took either one rev, or two revs: format-patch rev1 format-patch rev1 rev2 The first format was a short-hand for "format-patch rev1 HEAD" (i.e. rev2==HEAD). What this meant was to find commits that are in branch rev2 that has not been merged to branch rev1. The above notation is still supported, but now it takes sequence of "from1..to1 from2..to2 ...". In short, the second format has become a short-hand for "format-patch rev1..rev2". Commits in to1 but not in from1, to2 but not in from2, ... are formatted as emailable patches. With this, cherry-picking from other branch can be written as: git-format-patch -k --stdout master..branch1 master..branch2 | git-am -k -3 which is generally faster than traditional cherry-pick (which always did 3-way merge) if patches apply cleanly, and still falls back on 3-way merge if some of them do not.

2005-10-06git-format-patch: --stdout option.Junio C Hamano
This new flag generates the mbox formatted output to the standard output, instead of saving them into a file per patch and implies --mbox. It also fixes a corner case where the commit does not have *any* message. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-10-05Record which tree the patch applies to.Junio C Hamano
Also note which version of GIT produced the patch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-10-04Remove useless use of sed in git-format-patch.Junio C Hamano
There was a leftover use of sed that attempted to remove the commit ID output from git-diff-tree, which turned into an expensive no-op when git-diff-tree output header format changed about three months ago. Drop it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-13[PATCH] Omit patches that have already been merged from format-patch output.Junio C Hamano
This switches the logic to pick which commits to include in the output from git-rev-list to git-cherry; as a side effect, 'format-patch ^up mine' would stop working although up..mine would continue to work. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-08Big tool rename.Junio C Hamano
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.
