Before I start doing anything silly because I don't know it can already be done without waving my C wand like a mad man...
I often do this: find a commit of interest, the commit itself is not enough so I need a full patch series to figure out what's going, so I fire up "git log --graph --oneline" and manually search that commit and trace back to the merge point, then I can "git log --patch". Is there an automatic way to accomplish that? Something like "git branch --contains" (or "git merge --contains")? PS. Sometimes I wish we could optionally save cover letter in the merge commit. Sometimes the "big plan" is hard to see by reading individual commit messages. -- Duy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
