Subject: git show -m with a parent number
Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2016 20:46:02 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <nd9gq6$412$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
Hi All,
is there a good reason for `git show -m` to not accept the number of a
parent of a merge commit? I can run `git show --first-parent COMMIT`,
but need to write `git diff COMMIT^2 COMMIT` every time I want to diff
with the second parent!
`git cherry-pick -m 2 COMMIT` works, so why can't `git log` work like
that?
