35 | ||
36 | EXAMPLE | |
37 | ------- | |
38 | ||
39 | Given a commit, find out where it is relative to the local refs. Say somebody | |
2a75848e | 40 | wrote you about that fantastic commit 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a. |

41 | Of course, you look into the commit, but that only tells you what happened, but |
42 | not the context. | |
43 | ||
44 | Enter git-name-rev: | |
45 | ||
46 | ------------ | |
47 | % git name-rev 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a | |
2b5f3ed3 | 48 | 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a tags/v0.99^0~940 |
bd321bcc JS |
49 | ------------ |
50 | ||
51 | Now you are wiser, because you know that it happened 940 revisions before v0.99. | |
52 | ||
53 | Another nice thing you can do is: | |
54 | ||
55 | ------------ | |
56 | % git log | git name-rev --stdin | |
