I guess that I should make it clearer that the first time I searched the log with: $ git log to find the commit message by Travis by looking through all of them to find the one relevant to the branch I was interested in.
It wasn't until later that I realized that could checkout the branch first and then check the logs only relevant to that branch. The command that I think should work to read the log of a branch without checking it out doesn't seem to work for me. -Mike On Saturday, 9 November 2013 14:24:18 UTC-5, Mike Zabrocki wrote: > > Hi, > > Sorry I had to leave yesterday during the discussion > of the workflow/searching.
