git revision syntax is really powerful, but I can't find how to simplify things like: git diff 1a2e^..1a2e without writing tree'sh1 twice? Is there now "NEXT" syntax, something like: git diff 1a2e^..NEXT OR git changeset 1a2e ?? Another "next" syntax which might be useful if 1a2e is a known revision: git cherry-pick 1a2e+NEXT..origin/featureBranch ^^ "cherry pick anything from 1a2e to master EXCEPT 1a2e itself"

How to simplyfy getting the patch for one changeset in git?

git revision syntax is really powerful, but I can't find how to simplify things like:

git diff 1a2e^..1a2e

without writing tree'sh1 twice?

Is there now "NEXT" syntax, something like:

git diff 1a2e^..NEXT

git changeset 1a2e

Another "next" syntax which might be useful if 1a2e is a known revision:

git cherry-pick 1a2e+NEXT..origin/featureBranch

^^ "cherry pick anything from 1a2e to master EXCEPT 1a2e itself"

I've build a q'n'd workaround git-getnext which will get the child id in current branch from git log

you can do git log -1 -p sha1.

git show <tree-ish>

for instance.

And no, you can not refer to child commit, parent has no knowledge of it. And there may be more than one in no particular order.
