git commit-tree man page

Angelo Borsotti· Oct 24, 2012, 12:45 UTC · lore

Hello,

the man page of git commit-tree SYNOPSIS is:

    git commit-tree <tree> [(-p <parent>)...] < changelog
    git commit-tree [(-p <parent>)...] [(-m <message>)...] [(-F
<file>)...] <tree>

The second form is incorrect: the <tree> must be specified before the options. E.g.

$ git commit-tree -m B 88f7dbd47 fatal: Not a valid object name -m

$ git commit-tree 88f7dbd47 -m B 2f7619ed932787a128a84c4809d7b72ef38257a5

This has been fixed in 1.7.11.4:

 * "git commit-tree" learned a more natural "-p <parent> <tree>" order
   of arguments long time ago, but recently forgot it by mistake.
