| =========================== |
| v0.99.4, Aug 2005 |
| |
| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-show-branches-script - Show branches and their commits. |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git show-branches <reference>...' |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Shows the head commits from the named <reference> (or all refs under |
| $GIT_DIR/refs/heads), and displays concise list of commit logs |
| to show their relationship semi-visually. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| <reference>:: |
| Name of the reference under $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/. |
| |
| |
| OUTPUT |
| ------ |
| Given N <references>, the first N lines are the one-line |
| description from their commit message. The branch head that is |
| pointed at by $GIT_DIR/HEAD is prefixed with an asterisk '*' |
| character while other heads are prefixed with a '!' character. |
| |
| Following these N lines, one-line log for each commit is |
| displayed, indented N places. If a commit is on the I-th |
| branch, the I-th indentation character shows a '+' sign; |
| otherwise it shows a space. |
| |
| The following example shows three branches, "pu", "master" and |
| "rc": |
| |
| ------------------------------------------------ |
| * [pu] Add cheap local clone '-s' flag to git-clone-script |
| ! [master] Documentation updates. |
| ! [rc] Merge master into rc |
| + Add cheap local clone '-s' flag to git-clone-script |
| + Alternate object pool mechanism updates. |
| + Audit rev-parse users. |
| ++ Documentation updates. |
| + Merge master into rc |
| +++ [PATCH] plug memory leak in diff.c::diff_free_filepair() |
| ------------------------------------------------ |
| |
| These three branches all forked from a common commit, "[PATCH] |
| plug memory leak...", and "rc" has one commit ahead of it. The |
| "master" branch has one different commit that is also shared by |
| "pu" branch, and "pu" branch has three more commits on top of |
| "master" branch. |
