reflog/show question

[Geoff Russell]

     git show HEAD@{"3 minutes ago"}

works as I expect, but

     git show HEAD@{"3 minutes ago"}:data/node/node.data

gives me a message:

       warning: Log for 'HEAD' only goes back to Mon, 28 Apr 2008
10:18:37 +0930.
       fatal: ambiguous argument
'HEAD@{3.minutes.ago}:data/node/node.newds1': unknown revision or path
not in the working tree.
       Use '--' to separate paths from revisions

However,

     git show HEAD@{2}:data/node/node.data

shows me the file as it was 3 minutes ago.

I'm using 1.5.4.rc4

Cheers,

Geoff Russell

I can't reproduce here, using the current master or v1.5.4-rc4. If I
have a matching reflog, both work. And if I choose a much older time
(say, "1.year.ago"), then both fail. What are the entries in your
reflog (.git/logs/HEAD)?

I think its something to do with the filename and my commit comments.
The command
works as expected on other files.  The HEAD file is attached.

Hmm. Are you sure that the commit you got from HEAD@{"3 minutes ago"}
actually _has_ the file data/node/node.data? If it doesn't, then you get
the error message you saw. And it may be that the reflog warning happens
in _both_ cases, only you don't see it in the first because it is masked
by the pager. In v1.5.5, that output is now sent to the pager, instead.

Later today (touch wood) I'll prepare as small a test case as
possible, then send
a tar.gz of the .git directory. Okay?

Attached is tar.gz of working directory (.) - so unpack in a new directory.

       git show HEAD@{"N seconds ago"}:data/node/.gitignore

works fine for values of N back to creationof file

But:

       git show HEAD@{"N seconds ago"}:data/node/node.newds1

doesn't work for any values of N.

During my attempts to create this example, I managed created a
directory which where
the show command failed for both files, but when I changed the commit
message, the
show worked for .gitignore but not the node file. Hence my suspicion
of that the slashes
in the path are being interpreted as requesting a commit message match ...?

I hope you can track it down, I will install the latest version of git
later on today to
confirm the behaviour is still happening.

Thanks,
Geoff Russell

I just confirmed behaviour is still the same in 1.5.5

N.B. This problem has vanished -- which means its probably something I

Vanished randomly, or after you upgraded to the latest master? Did you
miss the "fix reflog approxidate parsing bug" patch I posted?

I did a "git pull origin" and used both 1.5.5.1 and my original
1.5.4-rc4 and couldn't
reproduce the problem. I have just looked at the patch and
it certainly sounds like it is attacking the problem that I was
seeing, but it shouldn't
have affected the 1.5.4-rc4 code.

Thanks
Geoff.
