Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock Asciidoc configuration: @@ -149,7 +153,10 @@ # Inline macros. # Backslash prefix required for escape processing. # (?s) re flag for line spanning. -(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + +# Explicit so they can be nested. +(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|https|ftp|file|mailto|callto|image|link)):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + # Anchor: [[[id]]].

By renaming the macro, we can avoid being matched by the wrong regex. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

NAME

|
----
|
|
git-blame - Show what revision and author last modified each line of a file
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git-blame' [-c] [-b] [-l] [--root] [-t] [-f] [-n] [-s] [-p] [-w] [--incremental] [-L n,m]
|
|
[-S <revs-file>] [-M] [-C] [-C] [--since=<date>]
|
|
[<rev> | --contents <file>] [--] <file>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Annotates each line in the given file with information from the revision which
|
|
last modified the line. Optionally, start annotating from the given revision.
|
|
|
|
Also it can limit the range of lines annotated.
|
|
|
|
This report doesn't tell you anything about lines which have been deleted or
|
|
replaced; you need to use a tool such as linkgit:git-diff[1] or the "pickaxe"
|
|
interface briefly mentioned in the following paragraph.
|
|
|
|
Apart from supporting file annotation, git also supports searching the
|
|
development history for when a code snippet occurred in a change. This makes it
|
|
possible to track when a code snippet was added to a file, moved or copied
|
|
between files, and eventually deleted or replaced. It works by searching for
|
|
a text string in the diff. A small example:
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
$ git log --pretty=oneline -S'blame_usage'
|
|
5040f17eba15504bad66b14a645bddd9b015ebb7 blame -S <ancestry-file>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
include::blame-options.txt[]
|
|
|
|
-c::
|
|
Use the same output mode as linkgit:git-annotate[1] (Default: off).
|
|
|
|
--score-debug::
|
|
Include debugging information related to the movement of
|
|
lines between files (see `-C`) and lines moved within a
|
|
file (see `-M`). The first number listed is the score.
|
|
This is the number of alphanumeric characters detected
|
|
to be moved between or within files. This must be above
|
|
a certain threshold for git-blame to consider those lines
|
|
of code to have been moved.
|
|
|
|
-f, --show-name::
|
|
Show filename in the original commit. By default
|
|
filename is shown if there is any line that came from a
|
|
file with different name, due to rename detection.
|
|
|
|
-n, --show-number::
|
|
Show line number in the original commit (Default: off).
|
|
|
|
-s::
|
|
Suppress author name and timestamp from the output.
|
|
|
|
-w::
|
|
Ignore whitespace when comparing parent's version and
|
|
child's to find where the lines came from.
|
|
|
|
|
|
THE PORCELAIN FORMAT
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
In this format, each line is output after a header; the
|
|
header at the minimum has the first line which has:
|
|
|
|
- 40-byte SHA-1 of the commit the line is attributed to;
|
|
- the line number of the line in the original file;
|
|
- the line number of the line in the final file;
|
|
- on a line that starts a group of line from a different
|
|
commit than the previous one, the number of lines in this
|
|
group. On subsequent lines this field is absent.
|
|
|
|
This header line is followed by the following information
|
|
at least once for each commit:
|
|
|
|
- author name ("author"), email ("author-mail"), time
|
|
("author-time"), and timezone ("author-tz"); similarly
|
|
for committer.
|
|
- filename in the commit the line is attributed to.
|
|
- the first line of the commit log message ("summary").
|
|
|
|
The contents of the actual line is output after the above
|
|
header, prefixed by a TAB. This is to allow adding more
|
|
header elements later.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SPECIFYING RANGES
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Unlike `git-blame` and `git-annotate` in older git, the extent
|
|
of annotation can be limited to both line ranges and revision
|
|
ranges. When you are interested in finding the origin for
|
|
ll. 40-60 for file `foo`, you can use `-L` option like these
|
|
(they mean the same thing -- both ask for 21 lines starting at
|
|
line 40):
|
|
|
|
git blame -L 40,60 foo
|
|
git blame -L 40,+21 foo
|
|
|
|
Also you can use regular expression to specify the line range.
|
|
|
|
git blame -L '/^sub hello {/,/^}$/' foo
|
|
|
|
would limit the annotation to the body of `hello` subroutine.
|
|
|
|
When you are not interested in changes older than the version
|
|
v2.6.18, or changes older than 3 weeks, you can use revision
|
|
range specifiers similar to `git-rev-list`:
|
|
|
|
git blame v2.6.18.. -- foo
|
|
git blame --since=3.weeks -- foo
|
|
|
|
When revision range specifiers are used to limit the annotation,
|
|
lines that have not changed since the range boundary (either the
|
|
commit v2.6.18 or the most recent commit that is more than 3
|
|
weeks old in the above example) are blamed for that range
|
|
boundary commit.
|
|
|
|
A particularly useful way is to see if an added file have lines
|
|
created by copy-and-paste from existing files. Sometimes this
|
|
indicates that the developer was being sloppy and did not
|
|
refactor the code properly. You can first find the commit that
|
|
introduced the file with:
|
|
|
|
git log --diff-filter=A --pretty=short -- foo
|
|
|
|
and then annotate the change between the commit and its
|
|
parents, using `commit{caret}!` notation:
|
|
|
|
git blame -C -C -f $commit^! -- foo
|
|
|
|
|
|
INCREMENTAL OUTPUT
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
When called with `--incremental` option, the command outputs the
|
|
result as it is built. The output generally will talk about
|
|
lines touched by more recent commits first (i.e. the lines will
|
|
be annotated out of order) and is meant to be used by
|
|
interactive viewers.
|
|
|
|
The output format is similar to the Porcelain format, but it
|
|
does not contain the actual lines from the file that is being
|
|
annotated.
|
|
|
|
. Each blame entry always starts with a line of:
|
|
|
|
<40-byte hex sha1> <sourceline> <resultline> <num_lines>
|
|
+
|
|
Line numbers count from 1.
|
|
|
|
. The first time that commit shows up in the stream, it has various
|
|
other information about it printed out with a one-word tag at the
|
|
beginning of each line about that "extended commit info" (author,
|
|
email, committer, dates, summary etc).
|
|
|
|
. Unlike Porcelain format, the filename information is always
|
|
given and terminates the entry:
|
|
|
|
"filename" <whitespace-quoted-filename-goes-here>
|
|
+
|
|
and thus it's really quite easy to parse for some line- and word-oriented
|
|
parser (which should be quite natural for most scripting languages).
|
|
+
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
For people who do parsing: to make it more robust, just ignore any
|
|
lines in between the first and last one ("<sha1>" and "filename" lines)
|
|
where you don't recognize the tag-words (or care about that particular
|
|
one) at the beginning of the "extended information" lines. That way, if
|
|
there is ever added information (like the commit encoding or extended
|
|
commit commentary), a blame viewer won't ever care.
