NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-rev-list - Lists commit objects in reverse chronological order
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git rev-list' [<options>] <commit>... [[--] <path>...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
List commits that are reachable by following the `parent` links from the
|
|
given commit(s), but exclude commits that are reachable from the one(s)
|
|
given with a '{caret}' in front of them. The output is given in reverse
|
|
chronological order by default.
|
|
|
|
You can think of this as a set operation. Commits given on the command
|
|
line form a set of commits that are reachable from any of them, and then
|
|
commits reachable from any of the ones given with '{caret}' in front are
|
|
subtracted from that set. The remaining commits are what comes out in the
|
|
command's output. Various other options and paths parameters can be used
|
|
to further limit the result.
|
|
|
|
Thus, the following command:
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
$ git rev-list foo bar ^baz
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
means "list all the commits which are reachable from 'foo' or 'bar', but
|
|
not from 'baz'".
|
|
|
|
A special notation "'<commit1>'..'<commit2>'" can be used as a
|
|
short-hand for "{caret}'<commit1>' '<commit2>'". For example, either of
|
|
the following may be used interchangeably:
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
$ git rev-list origin..HEAD
|
|
$ git rev-list HEAD ^origin
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
'rev-list' is a very essential Git command, since it
|
|
provides the ability to build and traverse commit ancestry graphs. For
|
|
this reason, it has a lot of different options that enables it to be
|
|
used by commands as different as 'git bisect' and
|
|
'git repack'.
