[PATCH 5/5] revert: add "--strategy" option to choose merge strategy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch makes it possible to use a different merge strategy when
cherry-picking. This is usefull mainly for debugging purposes as it
allows to see if some failures are caused by the merge strategy used or
not.
