> on-demand hook register")
> by git-blame and want to see commits on top of that particular commit.
> Earlier I've used for that:
> $ git log --reverse a67dd266adf4^..HEAD

> But now after merging greybus it follows the greybus's tree and shows me:
> [linux]$ git log --reverse a67dd266adf4^..HEAD --oneline
> cd26f1bd6bf3 greybus: Initial commit
> c8a797a98cb6 greybus: Import most recent greybus code to new repo.
> 06823c3eb9c4 greybus: README and .gitignore updates
>
> Which quite sucks as this isn't a hash I'm referencing.
> Anyway, back to the question, is there any option to tell git which tree to use?
> I'm sure this was asked before (on btrfs merge?), but I didn't find

> I'm using git v2.10.1 if anything.
