linux - gitk 的 "Mark Branch Sides"选项的定义

Question

在 gitk 中，“编辑 View ”(F4) 窗口中有一个名为“标记分支边”的选项。它似乎对应于 --left-right 选项:

+set known_view_options {
+    {perm    b    . {}               {mc "Remember this view"}}
+    {args    t50= + {}               {mc "Commits to include (arguments to git log):"}}
+    {all     b    * "--all"          {mc "Use all refs"}}
+    {dorder  b    . {"--date-order" "-d"}      {mc "Strictly sort by date"}}
+    {lright  b    . "--left-right"   {mc "Mark branch sides"}}

我能看到的唯一区别是提交由三角形而不是圆圈标记。这个选项应该做什么？

Answer 1

我想它链接到 git log或 git rev-list --左右选项:

Mark which side of a symmetric diff a commit is reachable from.
Commits from the left side are prefixed with < and those from the right with >

(< 和 > 应该解释了 gitk 中使用的三角形)

来自 ProGit book :

A common switch to use with the log command in this case is --left-right, which shows you which side of the range each commit is in. This helps make the data more useful:

$ git log --left-right master...experiment
< F
< E
> D
> C

(对 seeing remote changes 有帮助)

Dmitry Avtonomov添加 the comments (十一年后):

To make "Mark branch sides" make any difference in gitk, you need to specify a range in text field "Additional arguments to git log", e.g. like in VonC's example: "master...experiment".

There also need to be some commits present only on one of those specified branches.
