There's a difference between "skip commits that touch anything directory foo even if it also touches something outside of foo" and "skip commits that _only_ touches something in foo". Not sure which way Phillip wants here. Negative pathspec only supports the latter. The former needs a new option in rev-list, because the logic to consider a commit not a match if it matches a pathspec is out of tree_entry_interesting()'s control. -- Duy ``` ## Phillip Susi, 2013-11-26 04:34 Subject: Re: Filter log based on paths NOT touched Message-ID: <529424DC.6030107@ubuntu.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/529424DC.6030107%40ubuntu.com In-Reply-To: ``` -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 On 11/25/2013 10:13 PM, Duy Nguyen wrote: > There's a difference between "skip commits that touch anything > directory foo even if it also touches something outside of foo" and > "skip commits that _only_ touches something in foo".

I'm looking for the latter. Specifically I'm trying to see what changes to the upstream code a debian package has made so I need to ignore commits that only change things in debian/. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJSlCTcAAoJEJrBOlT6nu75jUQIAJOybMyXE6lr4y4aX6od02Rn lINvPVC1Xub2E1lsofIB+N4QvZDRWlIJOIcj3GRqirzUcNBaIOUxUW4+UV7KgMQH wmImS8DdBgrkI8Sompe9B0gqd4lmB2mzTutQfOzdEZ/ZOU50935daYboK//X7zM/ vSmumJpRwNfw1BKyuxVpAQ8Ablo9yUu2cswLKJPSKyQkT9d/AJn07LE5/DKZORQN RD3r94kToftgTfsQTJbNpPujJ5nVHwVmiC44Qghdquj54l++ai5Xs2wRU3Za3i+O ts7Tn5Lrw+pFAT5Lnt0v8Yedp7fVgjRhIsNEDIVlgNuHevP/oBOXIxuLJBlCBIE= =AYYO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ```
