* object name: introduce ':/<oneline prefix>' notationJohannes Schindelin2007-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To name a commit, you can now say $ git rev-parse ':/Initial revision of "git"' and it will return the hash of the youngest commit whose commit message (the oneline) begins with the given prefix. For future extension, a leading exclamation mark is treated specially: if you want to match a commit message starting with a '!', just repeat the exclamation mark. So, to match a commit which starts with '!Hello World', use $ git show ':/!!Hello World' Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Document the master@{n} reflog query syntax.Shawn O. Pearce2007-01-17
| | | | | | | | | In ab2a1a32 Junio improved the reflog query logic to support obtaining the n-th prior value of a ref, but this was never documented in git-rev-parse. Now it is. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| * Introduce a new revision set operator <rev>^!Junio C Hamano2006-10-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a shorthand for "<rev> --not <rev>^@", i.e. "include this commit but exclude any of its parents". When a new file $F is introduced by revision $R, this notation can be used to find a copy-and-paste from existing file in the parents of that revision without annotating the ancestry of the lines that were copied from: git pickaxe -f -C $R^! -- $F Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* | Documentation: clarify refname disambiguation rules.Junio C Hamano2006-10-26
|/ | | | | | | | Nobody should create ambiguous refs (i.e. have tag "foobar" and branch "foobar" at the same time) that need to be disambiguated with these rules to keep sanity, but the rules are there so document them. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* escape tilde in Documentation/git-rev-parse.txtJunio C Hamano2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes a failure to build the git-rev-parse manpage, seen with asciidoc 8.0.0 We would love to use nicer quoting $$~$$ but alas asciidoc 7 does not know about it. So use asciidoc.conf and define {tilde} to be &#126;. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Acked-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * sp/reflog: fetch.c: do not pass uninitialized lock to unlock_ref(). Test that git-branch -l works. Verify git-commit provides a reflog message. Enable ref log creation in git checkout -b. Create/delete branch ref logs. Include ref log detail in commit, reset, etc. Change order of -m option to update-ref. Correct force_write bug in refs.c Change 'master@noon' syntax to 'master@{noon}'. Log ref updates made by fetch. Force writing ref if it doesn't exist. Added logs/ directory to repository layout. General ref log reading improvements. Fix ref log parsing so it works properly. Support 'master@2 hours ago' syntax Log ref updates to logs/refs/<ref> Convert update-ref to use ref_lock API. Improve abstraction of ref lock/write.
| * Change 'master@noon' syntax to 'master@{noon}'.Shawn Pearce2006-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Its ambiguous to parse "master@2006-05-17 18:30:foo" when foo is meant as a file name and ":30" is meant as 30 minutes past 6 pm. Therefore all date specifications in a sha1 expression must now appear within brackets and the ':' splitter used for the path name in a sha1 expression ignores ':' appearing within brackets.

| * Support 'master@2 hours ago' syntaxShawn Pearce2006-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extended sha1 expressions may now include date specifications which indicate a point in time within the local repository's history. If the ref indicated to the left of '@' has a log in $GIT_DIR/logs/<ref> then the value of the ref at the time indicated by the specification is obtained from the ref's log. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
