Hello, I need to ask about git-show-branch once again as I really can't understand its behavior myself. Could please anybody either confirm bug(s) in git-show-branch, or explain why does it work this way. Consider its invocation in a toy repository that has total 6 commits, as can be seen from this output: $ git branch * master mybranch $ git rev-list master mybranch --pretty=oneline e9217caffebd6311073867d410f0c6e46910a13d Go to sleep 5f19837be87493e9b284fe7db03f00f23d006d2e Merged mybranch 2e2a4956db9737faf5f4f296b895500fafab7350 Some fun. 6478a15c48b0a7ce28069310ff5e51f95b250c7c Some work. 48d3660dc2005471c27f1d5b09d334885b612380 Commit message 2c14c05709bde3c1a7bbdd7effbf73a5667fa265 Initial commit $ Or, using git-show-branch itself: $ git-show-branch --more=9 master [master] Go to sleep [master^] Merged mybranch [master^^2] Some work. [master~2] Some fun. [master~3] Commit message [master~4] Initial commit $ [NOTE: the format of this output contradicts the manual page, but it's not the topic of this post] Now comes the confusion: $ git-show-branch --more=9 master mybranch * [master] Go to sleep ! [mybranch] Some work. -- * [master] Go to sleep *+ [mybranch] Some work. * [master~2] Some fun. *+ [master~3] Commit message *+ [master~4] Initial commit $ In this output, why git doesn't show the merge commit having "Merged mybranch" commit message? Yet another confusion: $ git-show-branch master mybranch * [master] Go to sleep ! [mybranch] Some work. -- * [master] Go to sleep *+ [mybranch] Some work. $ Why does it stop at "Some work." commit? The manual page says: "Usually the command stops output upon showing the commit that is the common ancestor of all the branches.", so I'd expect it should go down to "Commit message" commit that is the fork point. $ git --version git version 1.5.3.5.529.ge3d6d $ [The version is from today's master, but I tried with git version 1.5.3.4 as well, and with the same result] -- Sergei. - 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
