Are you looking for - the commit message? - the patch? - all the files referenced by that commit? - all the files _and revisions_ referenced by that commit? The answer depends quite a lot on the question... > For that matter, how is any one single object extracted? Examples please. The user-friendly way to look at a tree is git show HEAD:Documentation/ or some such. Likewise, you can inspect single blobs like this: git show HEAD:README If you activated bash completion, you can even complete monsters like this: git show \ v1.5.3:v1.5.3:t/t4013/diff.diff-tree_--cc_--patch-with-stat_--summary_master Hth, Dscho -- 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
