Subject: Usability improvement request: git show revision -- file
Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 08:45:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=JPVXD7Je7Rz9yhKHnJo+K2rs5WnwTY22c3h6L@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
if there's existing way to do this please tell me.
There's this file "src/subdir/file". I'm in the "src" directory and want to
see the "file" at specific revision.
Knowing about git show I'd expect something like this to work:
$ git show master -- subdir/file
But it shows nothing (no output, no warning). Following also does not
work as expected:
$ git show master:subdir/file
fatal: Path 'src/subdir/file' exists, but not 'subdir/file'.
Did you mean 'master:src/subdir/file'?
Of course following works:
$ git show master:src/subdir/file
but it's not very convenient to have to specify full path, and it's not what
you would expect given that most other commands accept "-- relativepath"
syntax.
