Re: Confusing git log --- First time bug submission please advise on best practices
Thanks for your clear response. I can see where I went wrong now.

As git log can only present the commits in a linear way, it shows the commits from the ancentry of both parents of HEAD in a reverse chronological order. This means that the commits from the two ancestries are mixed and commits that are shown after each other don't have to be parent and child. See the documentation of git log and the section Commit Ordering: By default, the commits are shown in reverse chronological order. git log --graph can help with getting a better picture. -- David Kastrup -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
Confusing git log --- First time bug submission please advise on best practices
My co-worker has an inconsistent git log output. Please see that attached files for output (I've made a best effort to remove confidential info from them). Comparing the two log commands we can see that master and originssh/master have a shared common commit at John Doe (4 hours ago) d85832d More pom fixes The top commit for originssh/master and the second to top for master. I would expect that both logs would share an _identical_ history from that commit onward. But the log for master contains the following Jeremy Doe (27 hours ago) 239ea21 (my-work) renamed class Jeremy Doe (28 hours ago) 27750b2 Merge branch 'master' of http://githost.companyname-dev.local/trading-development/sports-container-framework and Jeremy Doe (2 days ago) a933acb white space changes Jeremy Doe (2 days ago) b5e51e7 Merge branch 'master' of http://githost.companyname-dev.local/trading-development/sports-container-framework Jeremy Doe (2 days ago) 3a0f787 removed public methods Jeremy Doe (2 days ago) 4e91130 added the xml deserialisation None of which appear in the originssh/master log. Is there a scenario in which this is expected. It was my understanding that any two commits with the same hash have exactly the same history. Thanks for your time.

I helped him to create originssh to allow the push to be made. master Description: Binary data originssh_master Description: Binary data
