This also bumps the stable nixpkgs to 20.09 as of 2020-11-21, because there is some breakage in the git build related to the netrc credentials helper which someone has taken care of in nixpkgs. The stable channel is not used for anything other than git, so this should be fine. Change-Id: I3575a19dab09e1e9556cf8231d717de9890484fb

NAME

|
----
|
|
git-commit-tree - Create a new commit object
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git commit-tree' <tree> [(-p <parent>)...]
|
|
'git commit-tree' [(-p <parent>)...] [-S[<keyid>]] [(-m <message>)...]
|
|
[(-F <file>)...] <tree>
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This is usually not what an end user wants to run directly. See
|
|
linkgit:git-commit[1] instead.
|
|
|
|
Creates a new commit object based on the provided tree object and
|
|
emits the new commit object id on stdout. The log message is read
|
|
from the standard input, unless `-m` or `-F` options are given.
|
|
|
|
The `-m` and `-F` options can be given any number of times, in any
|
|
order. The commit log message will be composed in the order in which
|
|
the options are given.
|
|
|
|
A commit object may have any number of parents. With exactly one
|
|
parent, it is an ordinary commit. Having more than one parent makes
|
|
the commit a merge between several lines of history. Initial (root)
|
|
commits have no parents.
|
|
|
|
While a tree represents a particular directory state of a working
|
|
directory, a commit represents that state in "time", and explains how
|
|
to get there.
|
|
|
|
Normally a commit would identify a new "HEAD" state, and while Git
|
|
doesn't care where you save the note about that state, in practice we
|
|
tend to just write the result to the file that is pointed at by
|
|
`.git/HEAD`, so that we can always see what the last committed
|
|
state was.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<tree>::
|
|
An existing tree object.
|
|
|
|
-p <parent>::
|
|
Each `-p` indicates the id of a parent commit object.
|
|
|
|
-m <message>::
|
|
A paragraph in the commit log message. This can be given more than
|
|
once and each <message> becomes its own paragraph.
|
|
|
|
-F <file>::
|
|
Read the commit log message from the given file. Use `-` to read
|
|
from the standard input. This can be given more than once and the
|
|
content of each file becomes its own paragraph.
|
|
|
|
-S[<keyid>]::
|
|
--gpg-sign[=<keyid>]::
|
|
--no-gpg-sign::
|
|
GPG-sign commits. The `keyid` argument is optional and
|
|
defaults to the committer identity; if specified, it must be
|
|
stuck to the option without a space. `--no-gpg-sign` is useful to
|
|
countermand a `--gpg-sign` option given earlier on the command line.
|
|
|
|
Commit Information
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
A commit encapsulates:
|
|
|
|
- all parent object ids
|
|
- author name, email and date
|
|
- committer name and email and the commit time.
|
|
|
|
A commit comment is read from stdin. If a changelog
|
|
entry is not provided via "<" redirection, 'git commit-tree' will just wait
|
|
for one to be entered and terminated with ^D.
