I am a regular user of gitk's nice pickaxe search field. But it will often fail to find what I am looking for because the part of the string I can provide is not the part that changes. For example, I am looking for patches that change any calls to function foo(). I want to match on - foo(1, 0, 1024) + foo(0, 1024, 1) but I don't know the parameters. As the "pickaxe" sections in gitdiffcore and git log manpages indicate, it won't match on -S'foo' because foo itself was not added or removed. A regex like "foo(.*" would work, but pickaxe doesn't seem to take regexes, and while I could roll my own wrapper around git-log --patch, this sounds like an important and useful variant to pickaxe that is missing. Or that has a hidden switch I haven't found ;-) m -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- 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
