Inspired by the cvs annotate documentation improve and expand the man page to also mention the limitations of file annotations. Since people coming from the SVN/CVS world might first look here, also briefly advertise how the pickaxe interface makes it easy to go beyond these limitation.

============
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-blame - Show what revision and author last modified each line of a file
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-blame' [-c] [-l] [-t] [-S <revs-file>] [--] <file> [<rev>]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Annotates each line in the given file with information from the revision which
|
|
last modified the line. Optionally, start annotating from the given revision.
|
|
|
|
This report doesn't tell you anything about lines which have been deleted or
|
|
replaced; you need to use a tool such as gitlink:git-diff[1] or the "pickaxe"
|
|
interface briefly mentioned in the following paragraph.
|
|
|
|
Apart from supporting file annotation, git also supports searching the
|
|
development history for when a code snippet occured in a change. This makes it
|
|
possible to track when a code snippet was added to a file, moved or copied
|
|
between files, and eventually deleted or replaced. It works by searching for
|
|
a text string in the diff. A small example:
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
$ git log --pretty=oneline -S'blame_usage'
|
|
5040f17eba15504bad66b14a645bddd9b015ebb7 blame -S <ancestry-file>
