From ee53aff486d380986e549ea93a5d68e7b7607293 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Shawn O. Pearce" Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2007 21:08:04 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Document the master@{n} reflog query syntax. In ab2a1a32 Junio improved the reflog query logic to support obtaining the n-th prior value of a ref, but this was never documented in git-rev-parse. Now it is. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
