Puzzled by gitk patch representation for merge commits

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

 



Hello,

I don't understand the graphical scheme that gitk uses when displaying patches for merge commits. I would like to be able to explain this to the people I'm trying to evangelize to git, because they are also puzzled when they try to check with gitk what a merge has done to a given file.

I can see that at least three graphical hints seem to be involved:
- font: regular/bold
- color: red/blue
(maybe there are more colors when the commit has more than two parents?)
- column for displaying the '+' or '-'

But I just don't see what is the respective semantics of these hints...

(I'm using git 1.5.5.1 if that matters.)

Thanks in advance,
Jérôme
