I'm puzzled over the behavior of --first-parent. The documentations seems to imply that only the first parent is followed, but when a filter is applied it seems (just guessing) that the "first" parent is selected *after* filtering, a behaviour that I feel does not match the documentation. Should the first-parent filter be applied first. Example: git log --first-parent --pretty=format: --name-only v1.5.2|grep ^var.c|wc -l counts four commits where var.c was changed, while git log --first-parent --pretty=format: --name-only v1.5.2 -- var.c |wc -l gives me 23. -- robin - 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
