[Phpmyadmin-devel] git help -- finding in which tag/release a revision occurs
Hi, hopefully one of you can help me figure out a git question I have. I know the specific revision where a change occurred -- for example rRELEASE_3_3_4-5777-gd7192b3 (DefaultCharset depreciated), but what I want to know is what release version that change will affect. Any hints how I can figure out in which release this will occur? Thanks, ~isaac

Hi Isaac, not sure I understand the question which seems to talk about a future release. If a commit is done on the master branch only, it will appear in the next feature release (3.4). If it's done on branch QA_3_3, it will appear in the next bugfix release (3.3.6). -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

I think you understood exactly what I mean, but I was hoping there's a way to look back in time. If something was done in master two months or six months ago, there's no easy way to see which release came next? So far I've just been comparing dates but hoped git would make it easier. To explain a bit, this is for the wiki; when I have time (which might be a week or three later), I read through the commit log and edit the wiki page to match changes like depreciating DefaultCharset or adding the new string formatting. The only problem is figuring out what version to say with "this was depreciated in ____". It's no big problem, I was just hoping to make things a bit easier. Thanks!

Maybe the ChangeLog file would be a better help in this case? -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

Generally you can find out this by git describe --contains <HASH>. If it fails it means it not yet part of any release (like in this case). -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com
