[git-users] Show first/original version of all files

2012-03-28 Thread dspfun 
Hi,

I have made a clone of a git repo. Each file has a number of
modifications to it compared to when the files were put into git.

I would like to see all the original/first versions of each file,
how do I do this in git?

Brs

$ git show rev:filename

Would dump the contents of filename as recorded in revision rev.

So you have to decide what revision you cound as original and then
run the above command for each file of interest.

See the gitrevisions manual page for more info about the syntax.

A followup: if you're really want to look at the original versions of
*all* files comprising the current state of a repository, then you just
want to do `git checkout`.

This might seem like posing a problem, but really it isn't:
1) If you do not have uncommitted changes, just go ahead and do
   `git checkout original_rev`--you will be able to to do
   `git checkout the_branch_I_was_on` any time later.
2) If you do have uncommitted changes then just commit them--
   later you'll be able to check out that branch back and then
   back it out by one commit, keeping the changes in the work
   tree by doing `git reset HEAD~1`.  Or run `git stash` to just
   stash away your uncommitted changes to a special place.
   Then after checking out your branch back you'll run
   `git stash pop` and bring your uncommitted changes back.

TL;DR:
`git show rev:path` is a tool for quick reviews of past revisions
while `git checkout rev` is a tool for comprehensive reviews of them.
The latter might require some extra work to deal with uncommitted
changes if there are any.
