git-name-rev tries to find nice symbolic names for commits. It does so by walking the commits from the refs. When the symbolic name is ambiguous, the following heuristic is applied: Try to avoid too many ~'s, and if two ambiguous names have the same count of ~'s, take the one whose last number is smaller. With "--tags", the names are derived only from tags. With "--stdin", the stdin is parsed, and after every sha1 for which a name could be found, the name is appended. (Try "git log | git name-rev --stdin".) Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

NAME
|
|
----

|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-name-rev' [--tags] ( --all | --stdin | <commitish>... )
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Finds symbolic names suitable for human digestion for revisions given in any
|
|
format parsable by git-rev-parse.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
--tags::
|

Do not use branch names, but only tags to name the commits
|
|
|
|
--all::
|
|
List all commits reachable from all refs
|
|
|
|
--stdin::
|
|
Read from stdin, append "(<rev_name>)" to all sha1's of name'able
|
|
commits, and pass to stdout
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Given a commit, find out where it is relative to the local refs. Say somebody
|
|
wrote you about that phantastic commit 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a.
|
|
Of course, you look into the commit, but that only tells you what happened, but
|
|
not the context.
|
|
|
|
Enter git-name-rev:
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
% git name-rev 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Now you are wiser, because you know that it happened 940 revisions before v0.99.
|
|
|
|
Another nice thing you can do is:
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
% git log | git name-rev --stdin
