Getting the deps for a single commit is overly complicated #82

Open mstefani opened 5 years ago

I have been using until now git-deps 0.1.0-15-gbd9ed69. With that git deps commit would get the dependencies just for commit.

That changed with

    allow passing a revision range to CLI or web UI

With that git deps commit gets now the dependencies for commit and all older commits. To get now the deps just for commit one has to use the unwieldy: git deps commit^..commit

Yes, it does expect a range now. It's worth noting that you can type

git deps commit^!

which is shorter than

git deps commit^..commit

Having said that, there is a proposal in #67 for making this more user-friendly, but I haven't got around to figuring out how to finish it yet.

What --recurse option means then? I guess if single commit specified it should work like for single commit, not for -Infinity..commit. Duplicates #90.

--recurse is different, because then it recurses through discovered dependencies rather than only analysing the commits mentioned on the CLI.
