Message-ID: <20060326102100.GF18185@pasky.or.cz> (raw)

  Hello,

  sorry for possibly a silly question, but can I get a diff of a merge
commit with _union_ of changes against all the parents?

	$ git-diff-tree --abbrev -r -m --pretty=raw badfc383b

	diff-tree badfc38... (from 1ee6c84...)
	tree 29d81f18912328df4f4104e9b9cc355424ced04d
	parent 1ee6c84efda742eda8b4b200491341125d8d9639
	parent 453b160f03c8c6d450879482f617412c257e5889

	committer Petr Baudis <xpasky@machine.or.cz> 1143328578 +0100

	:100755 100755 6005083... f7efa9d... M	cg-log

  I would like something like:

	diff-tree badfc38... (from parents)
	tree 29d81f18912328df4f4104e9b9cc355424ced04d
	parent 1ee6c84efda742eda8b4b200491341125d8d9639
	parent 453b160f03c8c6d450879482f617412c257e5889
	author Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> 1143328578 +0100
	committer Petr Baudis <xpasky@machine.or.cz> 1143328578 +0100

	    Merge with v0.17

	:100755 100755 743c19f... b05900d... M	Documentation/make-cogito-asciidoc
	:100644 100644 24ce0a4... d540853... M	TODO
	:100644 100644 5896df7... 6f06c35... M	cg-Xlib
	:100755 100755 6005083... f7efa9d... M	cg-log

  Now, the -c option documentation says:

	  It shows the differences from each of the parents to the merge
	result simultaneously, instead of showing pairwise diff between
	a parent and the result one at a time, which '-m' option output
	does.

  This sounds as exactly what I want. Well, the only problem is that the
same diff command as above with -c option added produces no diff at all,
just the header and commit messages. Did I misunderstand the -c
description and does it do something different?

  Thanks,

Right now I am having amnesia and deja-vu at the same time.  I think
I have forgotten this before.
