This is not needed. Here's why: each commit in a repository managed by Git knows its immediate parent commit(s) -- one for simple changeset and two or more for commits resulted from merging. Hence, if you khow the name of any commit in the history, you can easily trace the full history of changes that commit resulted from. Now let me guess about why you asked... Note that Git it radically different from, say, Subversion in that you do not usually operate on changesets (well, in 1.5.x Subversion moved a bit in the same direction as Git though), that is, merging developments made on a branch back to the trunk do not require you to find out where your branch forked off, you just do $ git checkout master $ git merge mybranch and Git figures out all by itself what to merge to make master have all the changes made in the mybranch (compared to master). To get more familiar with concepts in Git, consider reading [1] (and the material it refers to) and [2]. > Also how do i see the content inside a commit? if i run "git log " it just > shows the commit id and the author. Did you read git log manual page at all? try running `git help log`. Also using some GUI tool might help, try gitk for instance. 1. http://tom.preston-werner.com/2009/05/19/the-git-parable.html 2. http://progit.org/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
