The "praise" command:
Output the text of a file with markings to show when each line of the file was last modified. The version currently checked out is shown by default. Other versions may be specified using the -r option. The "annotate" command shows line numbers and omits the username. The "blame" and "praise" commands show the user who made each check-in.
Reverse Annotations: Normally, these commands look at versions of FILENAME moving backwards in time back toward the root check-in, and thus the output shows the most recent change to each line. However, if the -o|--origin option is used to specify some future check-in (example: "-o trunk") then these commands show changes moving towards that alternative origin. Thus using "-o trunk" on an historical version of the file shows the first time each line in the file was changed or removed by any subsequent check-in.
Options:
- --filevers
- Show file version numbers rather than check-in versions
- -r|--revision VERSION
- The specific check-in containing the file
- -l|--log
- List all versions analyzed
- -n|--limit LIMIT
- LIMIT can be one of:
- N
- Up to N versions
- Xs
- As much as possible in X seconds
- none
- No limit
- -o|--origin VERSION
- The origin check-in. By default this is the root of the repository. Set to "trunk" or similar for a reverse annotation.
- -w|--ignore-all-space
- Ignore white space when comparing lines
- -Z|--ignore-trailing-space
- Ignore whitespace at line end
