The logic of git-show has remained largely unchanged since around5d7eeee(git-show: grok blobs, trees and tags, too, 2006-12-14): start a revision walker with no_walk=1, look at its pending objects and handle them one-by-one. For commits, this means stuffing them into a new queue all alone, and running the walker. Then Linus'sf222abd(Make 'git show' more useful, 2009-07-13) came along and set no_walk=0 whenever the user specifies a range. Which appears to work fine, until you actually prod it hard enough, as the preceding commit shows: UNINTERESTING commits will be marked as such, but not walked further to propagate the marks. Demonstrate this with the main tests of this patch: 'showing a range walks (Y shape)'. The Y shape of history ensures that propagating the UNINTERESTING marks is necessary to correctly exclude the main1 commit. The only example I could find actually requires that the negative revisions are listed later, and in this scenario a dotted range actually works. However, it is easy to find examples in git.git where a dotted range is wrong, e.g. $ git show v1.7.0..v1.7.1 | grep ^commit | wc -l 1297 $ git rev-list v1.7.0..v1.7.1 | wc -l 702 While there, also test a few other things that are not covered so far: the -N way of triggering a range (added in5853cae, DWIM 'git show -5' to 'git show --do-walk -5', 2010-06-01), and the interactions of tags, commits and ranges.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
