It won't do what you think it would do because: * -1 is a revision traversal options. * --reverse is an "output" option. This means: First, revisions are collected, at which point -1 is honored. Second, the revisions found are listed in --reverse order. When you have only one revision in the list, the output is the same with or without --reverse ;-) -- Hannes -- 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
