Asking for details about something that might \nbe wrong thinking from the start won't help you but will still require \nmuch of our time to answer. I.e. nobody gains anything but the work \nstill has to be done.\n\nIncidentally, the answer to the quoted question above is (usually)\n\tgit diff-index -p HEAD\n\nOtherwise;\nman git (and look in the \"IDENTIFIER TERMINOLOGY\". I wish I had).\n\nand\n\nfor i in /usr/bin/git-*tree*; do man ${i##*/}; done\n\n-- \nAndreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@op5.se\nOP5 AB www.op5.se\nTel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231\n"},{"id":"11802","messageId":"cda58cb80511140836i41d496e1u@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"2496","inReplyTo":"cda58cb80511140746w2f691fb8y@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: Simple questions on GIT usage.","fromName":"Franck","fromEmail":"vagabon.xyz@gmail.com","sentAt":"2005-11-14T16:36:08Z","receivedAt":"2005-11-14T16:36:08Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"vagabon.xyz@gmail.com","avatar":null},"body":"Andreas\n\nCould you cc me when you're responding to my questions since I'm not\nsubscribed to the GIT mailing list for now...thanks\n\ngit-branch -d option is not documented on online documentation at:\nhttp://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/\nThat's why I didn't find it by my self...\n\nRegarding the second question, your feeling is wrong. What you\ndescribed is well documented in the git tutorial. There's no \"hidden\"\nquestion behind the one I posted in my first email. So the question is\nstill: Is there a way to get information about the working repository\n? For instance if I create a branch which is not based on the current\nHEAD position of master branch but instead is based on a previous\npoisition of master branch. Then later I want to know how I create\nthis branch, how can I get this information ?\n\nThanks\n--\n Franck\n"},{"id":"11801","messageId":"86iruvxk1i.fsf@blue.stonehenge.com","threadId":"2496","inReplyTo":"4378B687.3060701@op5.se","subject":"Re: Simple questions on GIT usage.","fromName":"Randal L.
