[PATCH] rebase: support -X to pass through strategy options

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

 



From: Mike Lundy <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

git-rebase calls out to merge strategies, but did not support merge
strategy options so far.  Add this, in the same style used in
git-merge.

Sadly we have to do the full quoting/eval dance here, since
merge-recursive supports the --subtree=<path> option which potentially
contains whitespace.

This patch does not cover git rebase -i, which does not call any merge
strategy directly except in --preserve-merges, and even then only for
merges.

Mike posted this back in February but never picked up again after
Junio pointed out that the options can contain spaces.  This is an
attempt to at least finish the job for normal rebase.  Apart from the
whitespace issues, I changed the test to verify that the option
actually takes effect and added docs.
