From 99516e35d096f41e7133cacde8fbed8ee9a3ecd0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2007 13:42:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Fix embarrassing "git log --follow" bug It turns out that I completely broke "git log --follow" with my recent patch to revision.c ("Fix revision log diff setup, avoid unnecessary diff generation", commit b7bb760d5ed4881422673d32f869d140221d3564). Why? Because --follow obviously requires the diff machinery to function, exactly the same way pickaxe does. So everybody is away right now, but considering that nobody even noticed this bug, I don't think it matters. But for the record, here's the trivial one-liner fix (well, two, since I also fixed the comment). Because of the nature of the bug, if you ask for patches when following (which is one of the things I normally do), the bug is hidden, because then the request for diff output will automatically also enable the diffs themselves. So while "git log --follow " didn't work, adding a "-p" magically made it work again even without this fix. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
