| 9 | -------- |
| Junio C Hamano | a053d54 | 2006-10-27 09:29:13 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | 'git-cherry' [-v] <upstream> [<head>] [<limit>] |
| Junio C Hamano | 1a4e841 | 2005-12-27 08:17:23 | [diff] [blame] | 11 | |
| 12 | DESCRIPTION |
| 13 | ----------- |
| Junio C Hamano | 1bb569e | 2006-05-05 23:14:25 | [diff] [blame] | 14 | The changeset (or "diff") of each commit between the fork-point and <head> |
| 15 | is compared against each commit between the fork-point and <upstream>. |
| 16 | |
| Junio C Hamano | ff4b431 | 2006-10-25 22:55:31 | [diff] [blame] | 17 | Every commit that doesn't exist in the <upstream> branch |
| 18 | has its id (sha1) reported, prefixed by a symbol. The ones that have |
| 19 | equivalent change already |
| Junio C Hamano | 1bb569e | 2006-05-05 23:14:25 | [diff] [blame] | 20 | in the <upstream> branch are prefixed with a minus (-) sign, and those |
| Junio C Hamano | a053d54 | 2006-10-27 09:29:13 | [diff] [blame] | 21 | that only exist in the <head> branch are prefixed with a plus (+) symbol: |
| 22 | |
| 23 | __*__*__*__*__> <upstream> |
| 24 | / |
| 25 | fork-point |
| 26 | \__+__+__-__+__+__-__+__> <head> |
| 27 | |
| 28 | |
| 29 | If a <limit> has been given then the commits along the <head> branch up |
| 30 | to and including <limit> are not reported: |
| 31 | |
| 32 | __*__*__*__*__> <upstream> |
| 33 | / |
| 34 | fork-point |
| 35 | \__*__*__<limit>__-__+__> <head> |
| 36 | |
| Junio C Hamano | 1bb569e | 2006-05-05 23:14:25 | [diff] [blame] | 37 | |
| 38 | Because git-cherry compares the changeset rather than the commit id |
| 39 | (sha1), you can use git-cherry to find out if a commit you made locally |
| 40 | has been applied <upstream> under a different commit id. For example, |
| 41 | this will happen if you're feeding patches <upstream> via email rather |
| 42 | than pushing or pulling commits directly. |
