The ":/" magic should probably imply --do-walk so that git show --author=Ævar :/i18n does the right thing. 2. $ git cherry-pick --author=Ævar origin/pu fatal: BUG: expected exactly one commit from walk The single-pick code does not understand that such a simple revision specifier can return no revisions. A more appropriate error message would be fatal: empty commit set passed diff --git i/sequencer.c w/sequencer.c index a37846a5..736ccd57 100644 --- i/sequencer.c +++ w/sequencer.c @@ -908,7 +908,10 @@ int sequencer_pick_revisions(struct replay_opts *opts) if (prepare_revision_walk(opts->revs)) die(_("revision walk setup failed")); cmit = get_revision(opts->revs); - if (!cmit || get_revision(opts->revs)) + if (!cmit) + /* e.g. "git cherry-pick --author=nobody <commit>" */ + die(_("empty commit set passed")); + if (get_revision(opts->revs)) die("BUG: expected exactly one commit from walk"); return single_pick(cmit, opts); } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
