It's still there.\n\nOh beautiful.\n\nI had an old (as in 3 months max, but heh) git-tree at work in a\ncorner from which I had compiled git. When I saw it didn't have git\nshow which I have at home I did a git pull, recompile, reinstall.\n\nThe new git didn't have git show, so I thought it had been removed\nafter all. Turns out, the git pull had broken halfway due to the old\nversion of git. It hadn't fast forwarded _all_ the versions. But the\nnew git, while not current, has been able to do the complete git pull\nthis time. And now I have git show at work too.\n\nGuess you have to update git every month or so if you want to be able\nto follow current trees.\n\n OG.\n"},{"id":"17532","messageId":"4415FFB8.3000001@comcast.net","threadId":"3640","inReplyTo":"Pine.LNX.4.64.0603130830050.3618@g5.osdl.org","subject":"Re: What should I use instead of git show?","fromName":"Mark Hollomon","fromEmail":"markhollomon@comcast.net","sentAt":"2006-03-13T23:26:48Z","receivedAt":"2006-03-13T23:26:48Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"markhollomon@comcast.net","avatar":null},"body":"Linus Torvalds wrote:\n> \n> \n> \tgit whatchanged -p -1 \n> \n> instead (actually, if your git is really old, you shouldn't use the modern \n> shorthand of \"-1\", you should use the longer \"--max-count=1\" instead).\n\nI must be misunderstanding this:\n\n\tgit whatchanged -p -1 HEAD\n\nin the current git tree results in nothing. only when I get to -5 does it show something.\n\nIs this expected?\n\n > git version\ngit version 1.2.4.gea75\n\n-- \nMark Hollomon\n"},{"id":"17533","messageId":"7vmzftq4r4.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net","threadId":"3640","inReplyTo":"4415FFB8.3000001@comcast.net","subject":"Re: What should I use instead of git show?","fromName":"Junio C Hamano","fromEmail":"junkio@cox.net","sentAt":"2006-03-13T23:55:27Z","receivedAt":"2006-03-13T23:55:27Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"gitster@pobox.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/54884?v=4"},"body":"Mark Hollomon writes:\n\n> I must be misunderstanding this:\n>\n> \tgit whatchanged -p -1 HEAD\n>\n> in the current git tree results in nothing. only when I get to -5 does it show something.\n>\n> Is this expected?\n>\n>> git version\n> git version 1.2.4.gea75\n\nIn this case what matterks is not the version of your git but\nwhat that HEAD is.
