I would like to understand what the Merge: line is telling me in the output of a git log showing a fast forward merge.
For commit 8aa6f4fa below I can see the two SHA's listed there right below it. I just don't really understand what that line is saying. From what I've read around Fast Forward it seems it would be the SHA that was common between master and the branch and then the SHA that it moved HEAD to. Sometimes it's like this with the two referenced commits right below but other times it is not and one of the commits referenced is much further down in the log. commit 8aa6f4fa85ee620f45e975562132776a9fe477a1 Merge: 1cef1bf 5737a83 Author: Removed for security Date: Tue Jan 15 15:58:00 2013 -0700 Merge branch 'master' of ssh://git/cm/RAISE commit 1cef1bf495fd8f5b004885d7c57bbfe2c888e8d3 Author: Removed for security Date: Tue Jan 15 15:57:40 2013 -0700 Create File test update .../CreateFile/01CreateFile_InitialIssues.test | 174 +++++++++++ .../CreateFile/CreateFile_InitialIssues.test | 309 -------------------- .../FileEngine/CreateFile/OutFile_Test01_Clrg2.DAT | 41 +++ .../CreateFile/OutFile_Test01_Cust419.DAT | 11 + .../CreateFile/OutFile_Test01_Cust440.DAT | 17 + 5 files changed, 243 insertions(+), 309 deletions(-) commit 5737a83b1e74d24e6318da40878b66d93496553d Merge: 91978ef ac036c3 Author: Removed for security Date: Tue Jan 15 14:36:15 2013 -0700 Merge branch 'master' of ssh://192.168.129.59/cm/RAISE Thanks in Advance for any information. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
