When I go to kernel.org, click the tiny C next to linus's name to get the git
browser for the tree, click "tree", click the "usr" directory, and then click
"history" next to the file gen_init_cpio.c, it says this file appeared out of
thin air 59 minutes ago.
This is not the case.

I wind up with this link:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=history;h=b0e6e962992b76580f4900b166a337bad7c1e81b;f=usr/gen_init_cpio.c
Which shows exactly one change.
Am I doing something wrong?

Linus' tree only goes back to 2.6.12 or so. I think you're just seeing the fact that it's the first commit to that file since it was initially imported. josh ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

It does? For me, it says that the file has no history at all. Which is true. It hasn't been changed since it was imported, and normally git doesn't show the root commit at all (exactly because it's the "import" commit). Now, gitweb _could_ use the "--root" flag to git-diff-tree to also show the root commit as a diff against nothingness, and then each file would always have at least _one_ history entry, but if you want that, you might as well just click the "blob" button instead, that shows what the file is. The one commit you see (the "[PATCH] reduce size of bio mempools" thing in the header at the thing) is _not_ part of the file history: it's your starting point for history searching. In other words, it's the top commit that you do your history _off_. Pick another file, like the Makefile, to see what real history looks like (or, better yet, go into a different directory that actually sees more real work, like kernel/, and look at the history of files there).

I was trying to find out when symlink support went in to gen_init_cpio.c, so that was the only file that interested me. I forgot that the bitkeeper history never got moved over.
