Porcelain/Plumbing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Heya,

During my efforts gsoc efforts, I stumbled across (or actually, was
pointed at) 'git branch --contains' to list only branches that contain
a specific commit. The problem here is that 'git branch' is listed as
porcelain, and that there seems to be no plumbing equivalent of this
feature. I have the same problem with 'git log -S', although 'git log'
is pretty sturdy output wise (if you specify the output with
'--pretty=format:' that is), the idea is the same.
My question is, is it intentional that there is no plumbing equivalent
forsome functionality, and, in such cases, is it 'ok' to use the
porcelain from a script? (I think it is not.) I've been recommended to
stick with the plumbing as much as possible from my code, but with the
above two cases I've been unsure on what to do.
What is the advised course of action here?
