Revision be66a6c43dcba42c56f66a8706721a76098f8e25 authored by Johannes Schindelin on 25 April 2009, 09:57:14 UTC, committed by Junio C Hamano on 25 April 2009, 16:49:21 UTC 
Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliable
 
It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC)
has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away,
the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs.

It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping
through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly.

As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work
around it in Git.

At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to
assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().

NAME
----
git-name-rev - Find symbolic names for given revs


SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git name-rev' [--tags] [--refs=<pattern>]
	       ( --all | --stdin | <committish>... )

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Finds symbolic names suitable for human digestion for revisions given in any
format parsable by 'git-rev-parse'.


OPTIONS
-------

--tags::
	Do not use branch names, but only tags to name the commits

--refs=<pattern>::
	Only use refs whose names match a given shell pattern.

--all::
	List all commits reachable from all refs

--stdin::
	Read from stdin, append "(<rev_name>)" to all sha1's of nameable
	commits, and pass to stdout

--name-only::
	Instead of printing both the SHA-1 and the name, print only
	the name.  If given with --tags the usual tag prefix of
	"tags/" is also omitted from the name, matching the output
	of `git-describe` more closely.

--no-undefined::
	Die with error code != 0 when a reference is undefined,
	instead of printing `undefined`.

--always::
	Show uniquely abbreviated commit object as fallback.

EXAMPLE
-------

Given a commit, find out where it is relative to the local refs. Say somebody
wrote you about that fantastic commit 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a.
Of course, you look into the commit, but that only tells you what happened, but
not the context.

Enter 'git-name-rev':

------------
% git name-rev 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a
33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a tags/v0.99~940
------------

Now you are wiser, because you know that it happened 940 revisions before v0.99.

Another nice thing you can do is:

------------
% git log | git name-rev --stdin
------------
