Johan Herland	cb7529e13b	revision: Turn off history simplification in --ancestry-path mode When using --ancestry-path together with history simplification (typically triggered by path limiting), history simplification would get in the way of --ancestry-path by prematurely removing the parent links between commits on which the ancestry path calculations are made. This patch disables this history simplification when --ancestry-path is enabled. This is similar to what e.g. --full-history already does. The patch also includes a simple testcase verifying that --ancestry-path works together with path limiting.

revision: Turn off history simplification in --ancestry-path mode

When using --ancestry-path together with history simplification (typically
triggered by path limiting), history simplification would get in the way of
--ancestry-path by prematurely removing the parent links between commits on
which the ancestry path calculations are made.

This patch disables this history simplification when --ancestry-path is
enabled. This is similar to what e.g. --full-history already does.

The patch also includes a simple testcase verifying that --ancestry-path
works together with path limiting.

revision: --ancestry-path

"rev-list A..H" computes the set of commits that are ancestors of H, but
excludes the ones that are ancestors of A.  This is useful to see what
happened to the history leading to H since A, in the sense that "what does
H have that did not exist in A" (e.g. when you have a choice to update to
H from A).

	       x---x---A---B---C  <-- topic
	      /			\
     x---x---x---o---o---o---o---M---D---E---F---G  <-- dev
    /						  \
   x---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---N---H  <-- master

The result in the above example would be the commits marked with caps
letters (except for A itself, of course), and the ones marked with 'o'.

When you want to find out what commits in H are contaminated with the bug
introduced by A and need fixing, however, you might want to view only the
subset of "A..B" that are actually descendants of A, i.e. excluding the
ones marked with 'o'.  Introduce a new option --ancestry-path to compute
this set with "rev-list --ancestry-path A..B".

Note that in practice, you would build a fix immediately on top of A and
"git branch --contains A" will give the names of branches that you would
need to merge the fix into (i.e. topic, dev and master), so this may not
be worth paying the extra cost of postprocessing.
