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.

v0.99.5, Aug 2005

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-show-branch - Show branches and their commits.
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git show-branch [--all] [--heads] [--tags] [--more=<n>] [--merge-base] <reference>...'
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Shows the head commits from the named <reference> (or all refs under
|
|
$GIT_DIR/refs/heads), and displays concise list of commit logs
|
|
to show their relationship semi-visually.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<reference>::
|
|
Name of the reference under $GIT_DIR/refs/.
|
|
|
|
--all --heads --tags::
|
|
Show all refs under $GIT_DIR/refs, $GIT_DIR/refs/heads,
|
|
and $GIT_DIR/refs/tags, respectively.
|
|
|
|
--more=<n>::
|
|
Usually the command stops output upon showing the commit
|
|
that is the common ancestor of all the branches. This
|
|
flag tells the command to go <n> more common 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 A B"
|
|
[~3] git-ls-files: generalized pathspecs
|
|
[~4] Make "git-ls-files" work in subdirectories
|
|
