Hi all,
I have a commit like this:
commit 4d77a3cee01db0412956d40875c79f51ac745acc
tree 3443c9f633114c3bd2e015453a8c55a171e62b53
parent 340d808ade8a79857bec40770f0eb4f98224c53d
author ....
committer .....
which modifies file A/B/C (ie specifically does not add, but changes
an existing file in the repo).
I would then like to retrive the version of the file A/B/C before
commit 4d77a3cee by using the parent commit 340d808a:
git show 340d808ade8a79857bec40770f0eb4f98224c53d:A/B/C
which works for most files/commits I try this with, but doesn't work
in one particular case.
Questions:
- Is my understanding of the above git command incorrect?
- Is this a corrupt repo? Is there some way to check?
- Is there some explaination of why I can't get the previous version
of that file?
Appreciate any light that could be shed on this.
Cheers,
Erik
