Subject: [RFC/PATCH] Make --full-history consider more merges
Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2013 22:23:22 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1366658602-12254-1-git-send-email-kevin@bracey.fi> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <7v4nfcj2kq.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org>
History simplification previously always treated merges as TREESAME
if they were TREESAME to any parent.
While the desired default behaviour, this could be extremely unhelpful
when searching detailed history, and could not be overridden. For
example, if a merge had ignored a change, as if by "-s ours", then:
git log -m -p --full-history -Schange file
would successfully locate "change"'s addition but would not locate the
merge that resolved against it.
This patch changes the simplification so that when --full-history is
specified, a merge is treated as TREESAME only if it is TREESAME to
_all_ parents. This means the command above locates a merge that dropped
"change".

This would address my problem case - it passes existing tests, and covers
my (all-too-common) problem. But it would also need documentation changes and
a new test.
