5''- 5a- 6'' DEMO
What will happen is the changes made in 4->5 will get applied to the
(now) Test branch as part of the 6->6'' merge, and I will be left
having to add a new commit, 6a, to undo them all again. Given this is
likely to be quite a substantial change I want to try and avoid it if
possible.
I presume 6'''-6a has the revert of 4-5? If so, the next merge should
work just fine.
I think you missed the issue - Yes 6'''-6a is the revert, but the
problem is this could be large and complicated, and I wanted to find an
automated way rather than manual
Sort of like doing a diff of 4-5 and somehow applying it backwards.
I just discovered that git-apply has the -R flag. Is that what I am
looking for?
