Showing the version of a file that's in the Index.

Showing the version of a file that's in the Index.

[Tim Visher]

Hello Everyone,

How do you go about showing the version of the file that's in an
index.  I'm currently going through a somewhat convoluted in-file
add/commit process and I'd like to verify that what I'm about to
commit is in fact the version that I want to commit.

Thanks in advance!

With version do you mean content? Then

    git cat-file -p :0:file
or
    git cat-file -p :file

See git-rev-parse(1) "Specifying revisions", the last item.

Or

    git show :file

Huh, I use git-show daily for commits, but I completely forgot about it
for files when replying. I already felt strange about having to pass an
option.

It's nice for trees too:

    git show HEAD~3:
    git show master~1:directory/

But that's not in the index, and my patch to show cache-trees was 
rejected.
