Subject: git diff-tree against the root commit
Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2010 00:13:55 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CCA6623.8090705@workspacewhiz.com> (raw)
I am mirroring a Git repository into another SCM. I am using 'git
diff-tree' to tell me what changes I need to make to the other SCM.
Today, I attempted to mirror a new submodule. 'git diff-tree' reported
two SHAs... 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 and the revision
the submodule currently resides at. I attempted to run a 'git
diff-tree' within the submodule for the all zero SHA and the revision
specified, but apparently, 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 does
not really represent the root commit and does not work. I then
discovered the --root option, but that doesn't seem to give me the
complete file list either.
'git diff-tree' has been working great for everything else, but I really
need a root commit diff-tree listing for proper automation.
What are my options?
Thanks!
Josh
