The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

NAME

|
----
|
|
git-patch-id - Compute unique ID for a patch
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git patch-id' < <patch>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
A "patch ID" is nothing but a SHA1 of the diff associated with a patch, with
|
|
whitespace and line numbers ignored. As such, it's "reasonably stable", but at
|
|
the same time also reasonably unique, i.e., two patches that have the same "patch
|
|
ID" are almost guaranteed to be the same thing.
|
|
|
|
IOW, you can use this thing to look for likely duplicate commits.
|
|
|
|
When dealing with 'git diff-tree' output, it takes advantage of
|
|
the fact that the patch is prefixed with the object name of the
|
|
commit, and outputs two 40-byte hexadecimal strings. The first
|
|
string is the patch ID, and the second string is the commit ID.
|
|
This can be used to make a mapping from patch ID to commit ID.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<patch>::
|
|
The diff to create the ID of.
