From: Philip Oakley Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2016 21:46:28 GMT Subject: [PATCH v1 1/3] doc: commit: --fixup/--squash can take a commit revision Message-ID: <20160814214630.1312-2-philipoakley@iee.org> In-Reply-To: <20160814214630.1312-1-philipoakley@iee.org> Be clearer that the --fixup/--squash options can take any of the gitrevisions methods of specifying a commit, not just a 'hash'. Signed-off-by: Philip Oakley --- v1 It's not immediately obvious what different forms the option can take. Spell out, and refer to the git revisions guide, that any of the revision methods will work. On a side note, if one looks at the glossary, a links to which links to (and only tangentially "about" revisions) which then says "uniquely identified by the SHA-1", so it is easy to think one should use the sha1 here. I only discovered this misunderstanding while following up other parts of this series! --- Documentation/git-commit.txt | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/git-commit.txt b/Documentation/git-commit.txt index e704953..3600929 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-commit.txt +++ b/Documentation/git-commit.txt @@ -81,15 +81,15 @@ OPTIONS --fixup=:: Construct a commit message for use with `rebase --autosquash`.
