DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Lists commit objects in reverse chronological order starting at the
|
|
given commit(s), taking ancestry relationship into account. This is
|
|
useful to produce human-readable log output.
|
|
|
|
Commits which are stated with a preceding '{caret}' cause listing to stop at
|
|
that point. Their parents are implied. "git-rev-list foo bar {caret}baz" thus
|
|
means "list all the commits which are included in 'foo' and 'bar', but
|
|
not in 'baz'".
|
|
|
|
A special notation <commit1>..<commit2> can be used as a
|
|
short-hand for {caret}<commit1> <commit2>.
|
|
|
|
Another special notation is <commit1>...<commit2> which is useful for
|
|
merges. The resulting set of commits is the symmetric difference
|
|
between the two operands. The following two commands are equivalent:
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
$ git-rev-list A B --not $(git-merge-base --all A B)
|
|
$ git-rev-list A...B

OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
--pretty::
|
|
Print the contents of the commit changesets in human-readable form.
|
|
|
|
--header::
|
|
Print the contents of the commit in raw-format; each
|
|
record is separated with a NUL character.
|
|
|
|
--parents::
|
|
Print the parents of the commit.
|
|
|
|
--objects::
|
|
Print the object IDs of any object referenced by the listed commits.
|
|
'git-rev-list --objects foo ^bar' thus means "send me all object IDs
|
|
which I need to download if I have the commit object 'bar', but
|
|
not 'foo'".
|
|
|
|
--objects-edge::
|
|
Similar to `--objects`, but also print the IDs of
|
|
excluded commits prefixed with a `-` character. This is
|
|
used by `git-pack-objects` to build 'thin' pack, which
|
|
records objects in deltified form based on objects
|
|
contained in these excluded commits to reduce network
|
|
traffic.
|
|
|
|
--unpacked::
|
|
Only useful with `--objects`; print the object IDs that
|
|
are not in packs.
|
|
|
|
--bisect::
|
|
Limit output to the one commit object which is roughly halfway
|
|
between the included and excluded commits. Thus, if 'git-rev-list
|
|
--bisect foo {caret}bar {caret}baz' outputs 'midpoint', the output
|
|
of 'git-rev-list foo {caret}midpoint' and 'git-rev-list midpoint
|
|
{caret}bar {caret}baz' would be of roughly the same length.
|
|
Finding the change
|
|
which introduces a regression is thus reduced to a binary search:
|
|
repeatedly generate and test new 'midpoint's until the commit chain
|
|
is of length one.
|
|
|
|
--max-count::
|
|
Limit the number of commits output.
|
|
|
|
--max-age=timestamp, --min-age=timestamp::
|
|
Limit the commits output to specified time range.
|
|
|
|
--sparse::
|
|
When optional paths are given, the command outputs only
|
|
the commits that changes at least one of them, and also
|
|
ignores merges that do not touch the given paths. This
|
|
flag makes the command output all eligible commits
|
|
(still subject to count and age limitation), but apply
|
|
merge simplification nevertheless.
|
|
|
|
--remove-empty::
|
|
Stop when a given path disappears from the tree.
|
|
|
|
--no-merges::
|
|
Do not print commits with more than one parent.
|
|
|
|
--not::
|
|
Reverses the meaning of the '{caret}' prefix (or lack
|
|
thereof) for all following revision specifiers, up to
|
|
the next `--not`.
|
|
|
|
--all::
|
|
Pretend as if all the refs in `$GIT_DIR/refs/` are
|
|
listed on the command line as <commit>.
|
|
|
|
--topo-order::
|
|
By default, the commits are shown in reverse
|
|
chronological order. This option makes them appear in
|
|
topological order (i.e. descendant commits are shown
|
|
before their parents).
|
|
|
|
--merge::
|
|
After a failed merge, show refs that touch files having a
|
|
conflict and don't exist on all heads to merge.
|
|
|
|
--relative-date::
|
|
Show dates relative to the current time, e.g. "2 hours ago".
|
|
Only takes effect for dates shown in human-readable format,
|
|
such as when using "--pretty".
