Divine the “Changelog” From Git
I am having a tricky time with Ganeti, and the mailing list is not proving helpful. One factor is that I have two different versions in play. How does one divine the differences between these versions?
Git to the rescue! Along these lines:
git clone git://git.ganeti.org/ganeti.git # Clone the repo ... cd ganeti git branch -a # See what branches we have git ls-remote --tags # See what tags we have git checkout tags/v2.12.4 # Check out the "old" branch/tag git diff tags/v2.12.6 # Diff "old" vs "new" branch/tag # OH WAIT, IT IS EVEN EASIER THAN THIS! (Thanks, candlerb!) # You don't hack to check out a branch, just do this: git diff v2.12.4 v2.12.6 # Diff "old" vs "new"
And now I see the “diff” between 2.12.4 and 2.12.6, and the changes seem relevant to my issue.
