Re: checking out later commits from rolled back state

Hello, I a m relatively new to git, and my question pertains to moving back
and forth through the history of my commits.

Here is how I open a previous commit:

1)$ git log

2) (get sha1 hash of previous commit)

3)$ git checkout<hash of my previous commit>

the problem is that once I am working with that commit, git log only shows
the hash tags up to the time that the commit was made, but not any of the
later commits. Is there a way to get the hash tags of my later commits when
I am in that rolled back state?

If your are on branch 'master':

git log
git checkout <hash of previous commit>

then

"git log master" will show you the log from the tip of the master branch.
