Re: Commit searching

Both very useful replies, thank you very much. On Sat, May 11, 2019, 6:37 PM Krzysztof Gogolewski wrote:

Hi,

You can use git tag --contains <sha> to see the list of tags containing a commit; this goes back to ghc-7.2.

A different option is to checkout the configure.ac file for a given commit; there'll be a line such as AC_INIT([The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System], [6.9], [ glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org], [ghc]) which means that GHC was 6.9 (so the given commit was released in 6.10).

Of course both methods don't account for cherry-picks, the same change with a different sha could have landed in a bugfix release.

Hi chessai,

What I usually do for this is open up the corresponding GitHub page, e.g.:

https://github.com/ghc/ghc/commit/bb3fa2d18686d0c08b57c66a90a9ea1b4e4482ee

where I see the list of branches the commit was added to, below the commit message (note that you have to click "..." to see the full list of branches). The branches ending with `-release` (e.g. ghc-8.6.5-release) answer your question, I believe.

-- Best, Artem

Devs,

Is there a way to take the sha1 of a git commit and find which released version of GHC contains that commit, without resorting to a manual cross-reference?

Is it possible there could be some sort of webpage where this information could be made accessible, just by pasting in a commit? _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
