Subject: Git blame only current branch
Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2011 10:24:47 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d615954f-bed8-482d-a2e3-e1e741d6dd23@mail> (raw)

Hi all-

I'm curious if there's a method to make git blame merge commits that introduce code to the given branch rather than commits on the original (topic) branch?  For example:

  A--B--C---M--D  master
   \       /
    1--2--3       topicA

I'd like a mode where 'git blame master ...' shows commit M for lines changed by topicA so I can easily do 'git blame M^ ...' to see changes (on master) prior to the merge of topicA.  Unfortunately 'git blame master ^topicA ...' blames all the changes of topicA to 3 (which reading the docs appears to be the "correct" behavior).

Thanks!

Stephen
