Sufficient unto the day is the git thereof

Various commenters have directly or indirectly pointed out what I was missing w.r.t. git in my previous blog entry. I have enough to proceed with the buildfarm stuff, but clearly I have a lot to learn still. The next task facing me is to learn how to find out what has changed (if anything) on the branch in question since some given point in time - in this case since the last time the buildfarm ran a snapshot. After that I can look at how to work as a committer (using my other hat).

git log '@{4h ago}' or
git log 'origin/master@{4h ago}'

The simplest conversion of what's done right now would be:

git log --after=_date

There may be some potential for race conditions though from clock skew though, might miss a commit. What you probably want to do instead is save the SHA1 commit ID of the last commit each time through via something like:

git log -n 1 --pretty=oneline

Then after a pull you can pull the changelist with:

git log @previous SHA1@..HEAD

If you use a format string, instead of doing the oneline output, you can save some parsing: git log -1 --pretty=format:%H
