Dear diary, on Tue, Sep 20, 2005 at 12:16:03AM CEST, I got a letter where Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> told me that... > How does the date thing work? It sounds like something horribly ambiguous, > but hey, maybe some useful semantics could be found. Currently, in Cogito it is basically: git-rev-list --min-age="$(date --date=$id +%s)" --max-count=1 HEAD The point is that you can then say cg-log -r yesterday to see all the changes which happenned during the last day, and such (so it is really useful to have the syntactic power of date(1) available). But that semantics sucks, and I wouldn't mind changing it at all. I think taking the previous commit works for everything but the start of cg-log range, and it is how CVS behaves. And with cg-log, you'll just have one commit more, not so big a deal I think. Jonas was who introduced this, IIRC, so cc'ing him too. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ VI has two modes: the one in which it beeps and the one in which it doesn't. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Tue Sep 20 08:54:45 2005
