What is the scenario for a commit with 3 or more parents

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

 



I was reading over the Specifying Revisions section in the man entry
gitrevisions. I understand having 2 parent commits with a merge.

I was trying to understand the HEAD^2 style syntax and wondering where
HEAD^3 would be used. From the example diagram, this would be Commit B
but I'm unclear how this would ever happen. Is this some kind of
multi-way merge?

Does git log show the parents in their ordinal order in the "Merge:" line?
