git/patch-id.c, branch v0.99.8a Mirror of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ https://git.shady.money/git/atom?h=v0.99.8a 2005-07-27T18:53:49Z Typofix: usage strings fix. 2005-07-27T18:53:49Z Junio C Hamano junkio@cox.net 2005-07-27T07:04:16Z urn:sha1:54c6870ebf4c364dd809a1a58eb8485855344812 The *_usage strings should not start with "usage: ", since the usage() function gives its own. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Add "git-patch-id" program to generate patch ID's. 2005-06-23T22:06:04Z Linus Torvalds torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org 2005-06-23T22:06:04Z urn:sha1:f97672225b3b1a2ca57cfc16f49239bed1efcd87 A "patch ID" is nothing but a SHA1 of the diff associated with a patch, with whitespace and line numbers ignored. As such, it's "reasonably stable", but at the same time also reasonably unique, ie 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.
