'git rebase' uses the full onto sha1 for the reflog message whereas 'git rebase -i' uses the short sha1. This is not only inconsistent, but can lead to problems when the reflog is inspected at a later time at which that abbreviation may have become ambiguous. Make 'rebase -i' use the full onto sha1, as well. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- So, this is without the now superfluous shortonto definition. The other place where shortonto is defined is still needed. git-rebase--interactive.sh | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-rebase--interactive.sh b/git-rebase--interactive.sh index 0d2056f..a09e842 100644 --- a/git-rebase--interactive.sh +++ b/git-rebase--interactive.sh @@ -569,11 +569,10 @@ do_next () { test -s "$todo" && return comment_for_reflog finish && - shortonto=$(git rev-parse --short $onto) && newhead=$(git rev-parse HEAD) && case $head_name in refs/*) - message="$GIT_REFLOG_ACTION: $head_name onto $shortonto" && + message="$GIT_REFLOG_ACTION: $head_name onto $onto" && git update-ref -m "$message" $head_name $newhead $orig_head && git symbolic-ref \ -m "$GIT_REFLOG_ACTION: returning to $head_name" \ -- 1.7.12.rc2.245.g4f94e02 -- 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
