gitk "find commit adding/removing string"/possible pickaxe bug?

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

 



Hi,

I quite like gitk and am a fan of the ability to easily locate commits
where a specific string was added/removed. If the string in question
was added in a merge commit as part of a conflicted/otherwise
changed merge, gitk doesn't display it.

(If you want to reproduce, the repository is git://git.torproject.org/ tor,
the string I'm looking for is "< DIGEST" and the first commit I hope to
find is ed87738ede789fb).

I presented the issue to #git, and it was suggested that it is probably
a pickaxe bug in that it doesn't display changes in merge commits if
they add strings that neither of their parents has.

Do you agree that this is a bug, or am I missing anything here?

Thanks for you consideration!

Sebastian
