Subject: [PATCH 0/6] revision: fix order of revs for ^!
Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2022 16:48:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ba6eea28-fb3a-b376-2529-351727c02f1a@web.de> (raw)

According to gitrevisions(7), "R^!" is the same as "R ^R^1 [^R^2...]",
but handle_revision_arg_1() instead resolves it to "^R^1 [^R^2...] R".
This ordering affects git diff, which expects the child to be given
before its parents when asked to produce a combined diff of a merge.

This series reverses that order and makes "git diff R^!" consistent
with "git show R^!".  First an unrelated cleanup in the vicinity:

  revision: use strtol_i() for exclude_parent

Then dissolve add_parents_only() to gain the necessary flexibility.  I
may have overdone it:

  revision: factor out get_commit()
  revision: factor out add_parent()
  revision: factor out add_parents()
  revision: rename add_parents_only() to add_nth_parent()

Finally the actual change of order:

  revision: add parents after child for ^!
