You mean, the opposite of ^ or ~n? AFAIK, there isn't, and there's a good reason for that: ^ is well-defined, it's the first parent of , and it won't change unless one rewrites this commit. "the successor of ", OTOH, is not well defined, since there can be several successors, and one can't order them reliably (you can't really know the set of successors, because they can exist in different repositories). -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
