#Function: commitIsAncestorOf()

commitIsAncestorOf(commit: Pick<LixCommit, "id">, options?: { depth?: number; includeSelf?: boolean; }): (eb: ExpressionBuilder<LixDatabaseSchema, "commit">) => ExpressionWrapper<LixDatabaseSchema, "commit", SqlBool>

Filters commits that are ancestors of the given commit.

By default, this is exclusive, meaning it returns only commits strictly before the provided commit in the graph.

Traverses the commit_edge graph recursively, starting from the provided commit (or its parents if exclusive), and returns all commits reachable via parent edges.

This filter is typically used to scope the graph before applying filters like changeIsLeaf().

⚠️ This filter only defines the traversal scope — it does not filter changes directly.

--- Options ---

• includeSelf: If true, includes the starting commit in the results. Defaults to false.
• depth: Limits the traversal depth. depth: 1 selects only immediate parents (if exclusive) or the starting node and its immediate parents (if inclusive).

--- Examples ---

#Examples

db.selectFrom("commit")
  .where(commitIsAncestorOf({ id: "c3" }))
  .selectAll()

db.selectFrom("commit")
  .where(commitIsAncestorOf({ id: "c3" }, { includeSelf: true }))
  .selectAll()

// Select all commits between startPoint and endPoint (inclusive)
db.selectFrom("commit")
  .where(commitIsDescendantOf({ id: "startPoint" }))
  .where(commitIsAncestorOf({ id: "endPoint" }))
  .selectAll()
