Extended SHA1 -- "rev^@" syntax to mean "all parents"
A short-hand "rev^@" is understood to be "all parents of the
named commit" with this patch. So you can do
git show v1.0.0^@
to view the parents of a merge commit,
gitk ^v1.0.0^@ v1.0.4
to view the log between two revs (including the bottom one), and
git diff --cc v1.1.0 v1.0.0^@
to inspect what got changed from the merge parents of v1.0.0 to v1.1.0.
This might be just my shiny new toy that is not very useful in
practice. I needed it to do the multi-tree diff on Len's
infamous 12-way Octopus; typing "diff --cc funmerge funmerge^1
funmerge^2 funmerge^3 ..." was too painful.
[jc: taking suggestions from Linus and Johannes to match expectations
from shell users who are used to see $@ or $* either of which makes
sense. I tend to write "$@" more often so...]
