From: Sean Date: Wed, 04 Jul 2007 08:33:36 GMT Subject: Alter git-checkout reflog message to include "from" branch Message-ID: <20070704043336.0cfa4d8a.seanlkml@sympatico.ca> As suggested by Junio, adding the current branch name to the reflog message for git-checkout would be helpful. For example: "checkout: moving from next to master" Signed-off-by: Sean Estabrooks diff --git a/git-checkout.sh b/git-checkout.sh index e00b697..17f4392 100755 --- a/git-checkout.sh +++ b/git-checkout.sh @@ -259,7 +259,8 @@ if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]; then fi if test -n "$branch" then - GIT_DIR="$GIT_DIR" git symbolic-ref -m "checkout: moving to $branch" HEAD "refs/heads/$branch" + old_branch_name=`expr "z$oldbranch" : 'zrefs/heads/\(.*\)'` + GIT_DIR="$GIT_DIR" git symbolic-ref -m "checkout: moving from $old_branch_name to $branch" HEAD "refs/heads/$branch" if test -n "$quiet" then true # nothing
