NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-patch-id - Compute unique ID for a patch
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git patch-id' [--stable | --unstable]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Read a patch from the standard input and compute the patch ID for it.
|
|
|
|
A "patch ID" is nothing but a sum of SHA-1 of the file diffs associated with a
|
|
patch, with whitespace and line numbers ignored. As such, it's "reasonably
|
|
stable", but at the same time also reasonably unique, i.e., two patches that
|
|
have the same "patch ID" are almost guaranteed to be the same thing.
|
|
|
|
IOW, you can use this thing to look for likely duplicate commits.
|
|
|
|
When dealing with 'git diff-tree' output, it takes advantage of
|
|
the fact that the patch is prefixed with the object name of the
|
|
commit, and outputs two 40-byte hexadecimal strings. The first
|
|
string is the patch ID, and the second string is the commit ID.
|
|
This can be used to make a mapping from patch ID to commit ID.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
--stable::
|
|
Use a "stable" sum of hashes as the patch ID. With this option:
|
|
- Reordering file diffs that make up a patch does not affect the ID.
|
|
In particular, two patches produced by comparing the same two trees
|
|
with two different settings for "-O<orderfile>" result in the same
|
|
patch ID signature, thereby allowing the computed result to be used
|
|
as a key to index some meta-information about the change between
|
|
the two trees;
|
|
|
|
- Result is different from the value produced by git 1.9 and older
|
|
or produced when an "unstable" hash (see --unstable below) is
|
|
configured - even when used on a diff output taken without any use
|
|
of "-O<orderfile>", thereby making existing databases storing such
|
|
"unstable" or historical patch-ids unusable.
|
|
|
|
This is the default if patchid.stable is set to true.
|
|
|
|
--unstable::
|
|
Use an "unstable" hash as the patch ID. With this option,
|
|
the result produced is compatible with the patch-id value produced
|
|
by git 1.9 and older. Users with pre-existing databases storing
|
|
patch-ids produced by git 1.9 and older (who do not deal with reordered
|
|
patches) may want to use this option.
|
|
|
|
This is the default.
|
|
|
|
<patch>::
|
|
The diff to create the ID of.
