Subject: How do I get the name of the parent branch?
Date: Sun, 03 Jul 2011 09:49:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E109D8F.3030402@gmail.com> (raw)
Google results point to how to get to commits that have gone into
parent branches, but fundamentally I just want to have a script
that constructs a diff of what has changed since the latest branch
without having to do manual research to figure out the name.
As best as I can tell, you use:
git format-patch -o pdir --ignore-if-in-upstream $branch
the hard part seems to be (but ought not be) figuring out
the value for "$branch".
