Hi,
I juggle between several hot branches, and an alphabetical listing
from 'git branch' doesn't cut it for me. I've chosen to enhance
for-each-ref so that I get output like (with color):
$ git hot
um-build>
perf-manifest=
* master=
sparse=
ia32-asm-cleanup>
menuconfig-jk<>
perf-build=
perf-completion<
where hot is the following alias:
for-each-ref --format='%C(red)%(HEAD)%C(reset)
%C(green)%(refname:short)%C(reset)%(upstream:trackshort)' --count 10
--sort='-committerdate' refs/heads
While the alias might look a bit horrendous, I get the desired output.
The last time I tried to get this feature merged, there was some
confusion about unifying the format of for-each-ref with
pretty-formats, and enhacing git-branch while at it. I tried going
down that road, but got no reviews; everyone was generally more
unhappy due to the added complexity. Months have passed since, and we
still don't have this feature.
Let's keep it simple and stupid. A terse +84,-10 (with documentation)
for this wonderful feature now. Let's get it merged, and defer the
kitchen-sink-unification efforts.
Thanks.
