6 git-name-rev - Find symbolic names for given revs.
11 'git-name-rev' [--tags] ( --all | --stdin | <commitish>... )
15 Finds symbolic names suitable for human digestion for revisions given in any
16 format parsable by git-rev-parse.
23 Do not use branch names, but only tags to name the commits
26 List all commits reachable from all refs
29 Read from stdin, append "(<rev_name>)" to all sha1's of name'able
30 commits, and pass to stdout
35 Given a commit, find out where it is relative to the local refs. Say somebody
36 wrote you about that phantastic commit 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a.
37 Of course, you look into the commit, but that only tells you what happened, but
43 % git name-rev 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a
46 Now you are wiser, because you know that it happened 940 revisions before v0.99.
48 Another nice thing you can do is:
51 % git log | git name-rev --stdin
