[PATCH v2] gitk: parse arbitrary commit-ish in SHA1 field

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

 



We only accepted either SHA1s or heads/tags that have been read.  This
meant the user could not, e.g., enter HEAD to go back to the current
commit.

Add code to call out to git rev-parse --verify with the string entered
if all other methods of interpreting it failed.  (git-rev-parse alone
is not enough as we really want a single revision.)

The error paths change slighly, because we now know from the rev-parse
invocation whether the expression was valid at all.  The previous
"unknown" path is now only triggered if the revision does exist, but
is not in the current view display.

Indeed, thanks.
