First, we now usually use 'tree-ish' or 'treeish', not 'ent'. Second, it is ':/<text>', not '<tree-ish>:/<text>' git-rev-parse(1): * A colon, followed by a slash, followed by a text: this names a commit whose commit message starts with the specified text. This name returns the youngest matching commit which is reachable from any ref. If the commit message starts with a '!', you have to repeat that; the special sequence ':/!', followed by something else than '!' is reserved for now. -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git - 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
