INCREMENTAL OUTPUT
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
When called with `--incremental` option, the command outputs the
|
||||
result as it is built. The output generally will talk about
|
||||
lines touched by more recent commits first (i.e. the lines will
|
||||
be annotated out of order) and is meant to be used by
|
||||
interactive viewers.
|
||||
|
||||
The output format is similar to the Porcelain format, but it
|
||||
does not contain the actual lines from the file that is being
|
||||
annotated.
|
||||
|
||||
. Each blame entry always starts with a line of:
|
||||
|
||||
<40-byte hex sha1> <sourceline> <resultline> <num_lines>
|
||||
+
|
||||
Line numbers count from 1.
|
||||
|
||||
. The first time that commit shows up in the stream, it has various
|
||||
other information about it printed out with a one-word tag at the
|
||||
beginning of each line about that "extended commit info" (author,
|
||||
email, committer, dates, summary etc).
|
||||
|
||||
. Unlike Porcelain format, the filename information is always
|
||||
given and terminates the entry:
|
||||
|
||||
"filename" <whitespace-quoted-filename-goes-here>
|
||||
+
|
||||
and thus it's really quite easy to parse for some line- and word-oriented
|
||||
parser (which should be quite natural for most scripting languages).
|
||||
+
|
||||
[NOTE]
|
||||
For people who do parsing: to make it more robust, just ignore any
|
||||
lines in between the first and last one ("<sha1>" and "filename" lines)
|
||||
where you don't recognize the tag-words (or care about that particular
|
||||
one) at the beginning of the "extended information" lines. That way, if
|
||||
there is ever added information (like the commit encoding or extended
|
||||
commit commentary), a blame viewer won't ever care.
