Git log returns no output when performing revision selection #22

Closed oyebayo closed 4 years ago

oyebayo commented 4 years ago

When executing a revision selection with git on alpine, the output is always nothing. For example git log master..experiment always returns nothing. Similarly, git log ^master experiment returns nothing. Other git log commands work as expected

This seems to be peculiar to alpine, as I can see this behaviour even in the latest version (Alpine 3.12, git 2.26.2)

did you checkout the branch experiment before you run the command?

I can see that that was the issue, @ozbillwang. I am using alpine docker images in my CI pipeline and comparing two branches. Prefixing them both with "origin" gave me the expected result. Thank you.
