From 62476c8e331a22e224d87c18830913129f5f303b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2006 14:22:34 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Introduce a new revision set operator ^! This is a shorthand for " --not ^@", i.e. "include this commit but exclude any of its parents". When a new file $F is introduced by revision $R, this notation can be used to find a copy-and-paste from existing file in the parents of that revision without annotating the ancestry of the lines that were copied from: git pickaxe -f -C $R^! -- $F Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- Documentation/git-pickaxe.txt | 38 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Documentation/git-rev-parse.txt | 13 ++++++++++--- revision.c | 7 +++++++ 3 files changed, 55 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/git-pickaxe.txt b/Documentation/git-pickaxe.txt index 6d22fd9e99..c08fdec191 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-pickaxe.txt +++ b/Documentation/git-pickaxe.txt @@ -111,6 +111,44 @@ The contents of the actual line is output after the above header, prefixed by a TAB.
