Subject: What's with git blame --reverse ?
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2014 13:45:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87y5218ufn.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
The git blame manual page talks about using git blame --reverse to
figure out when a particular change disappeared, but I cannot make it
produce anything useful regardless of what range I give it. Using
--root delivers a different state of uselessness.
Can anyone give a recipe for using git blame --reverse on the Git code
base for figuring out anything of relevance?
Since I am in the process of rewriting git-blame, of course I want to
verify that everything works, but while I achieve the same results, they
seem fabulously useless before and after my rewrite.
