The Perfect Weapon

Now that we have working OpenSSL support, we can run Merb:

fastness ➞ merbinius -a webrick
 ~ Loaded DEVELOPMENT Environment...
 ~ Compiling routes...
 ~ Using 'share-nothing' cookie sessions (4kb limit per client)
 ~ Using Webrick adapter
 ~ WEBrick 1.3.1

 ~ TCPServer.new(0.0.0.0, 4000)
 ~ Rack::Handler::WEBrick is mounted on /.
 ~ WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=61939 port=4000

     :dispatch_time=>0.069112, :action_time=>0.068106}

This question cropped up in #rubinius today, and I'll toss the answer out there because Google wasn't particularly helpful at the time.

There are several common ways to search for a commit message in git, but in this case, we are looking for a piece of text that will only appear in the full diff.

Since you already know the string you are searching for, paging through all the changes in a particular file seems wasteful.

I am (now) aware of two ways to do this with git:

• git log -S'some_string'
• git whatchanged -p (after the pager comes up, type '/' and then 'some_string')

If you know of a better trick, feel free to post a comment.

InfoQ just posted a video interview they recorded with me at the last RubyConf. I haven’t been brave enough yet to watch it, but you could check it out and then come tell me how badly I embarrassed myself.
