It's all handled by the above command. The fetch will not only fetch the patch but also the complete history which the patch depends on. A git revision identifier (the long hex-string) is a hash of the complete directory tree PLUS all of the branch's history. So by checking out a specific revision (which FETCH_HEAD is a shorthand for) you will get the exact order and content of commits as the patch author had. /Andreas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
