[BUG] Endless loop in git whatchanged --graph -m

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Steps to reproduce:

	(Simple merge of two branches)

	$ mkdir a && cd a && git init

	$ echo file1 > file1
	$ git add file1 && git commit -m initial

	$ echo file1 >> file1
	$ git commit -a -m "commit on master"

	$ git checkout -b experimental HEAD^
	$ echo file2 > file2
	$ git add file2 && git commit -m "commit on experimental"

	$ git checkout master && git merge experimental 

	$ git whatchanged --graph -m
	<endless loop here>

Here is a simple patch, which solves this problem by removing constraint from
git_show_commit(). I'm not sure if this is the best solution. Maybe some upper
layer shouldn't call git_show_commit()?
