Repository.Commits returns an empty collection when repository in detached head state

[davidfowl]

When trying to list commits for a repository in detached head state, the commit collection (Repository.Commits) is empty.

I don't think that libgit2 itself covers the detached state.

That's just something that's just not implemented yet right?

@davidfowl I've committed a fix on vNext branch. Could you give it a try?

see this for further information.

This seems to work now. It doesn't return an empty collection anymore but it doesn't return all commits either. What I'm looking for is a way to do "git log --all".

It doesn't return an empty collection anymore but it doesn't return all commits either.

If your HEAD points at 2c0ec23, repo.Commits will enumerate similarly to git log 2c0ec23

What I'm looking for is a way to do "git log --all".

git log --all is not implemented yet in libgit2.

You might fake it by fetching all the commits from every branch then combining them, but it may turn ugly, especially if you wish to correctly handle the sorting strategies (topo, reverse, ...)

Final version of the fix.

So there's still no way to do git log --all right? That's to be added?

@davidfowl, nulltoken/libgit2sharp@719cc34 removes the workaround introduced by nulltoken/libgit2sharp@7b7a4ab and includes a new version of libgit2 with fixes for #52 and #53

There's still no built-in way to do git log --all.

Ok thanks
