Functions

func Add

func Add(s string, ancestors int) string

Add adds an ancestry reference to the given string.

func Parse

func Parse(s string) (string, int)

Parse parses s for git ancestry references. It supports special characters ^ ~, both of which are supported by git. Note in git ^ and ~ have different meanings on commits that have multiple parent commits. In Pachyderm there's only 1 parent possible so they have identical meanings. We support both simply for familiarity sake. ParseAncestry returns the base reference and how many ancestors back to go. For example: foo^ -> foo, 1 foo^^ -> foo, 2 foo^3 -> foo 3 (all examples apply with ~ in place of ^ as well
