The results are at git://repo.or.cz/git/trast.git notes/terse notes/full I have previously posted about this at e.g. http://mid.gmane.org/200902091508.11460.trast@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mid.gmane.org/201003042321.36240.trast@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx though I should point out that it no longer tries to apply the patches as outlined in the first post; this was simply way too expensive. I also use it when heavily editing a patch series to tack little reminders on my fixup patches. I have $ git config alias.fixup !sh -c 'r=$1; git commit -m"fixup! $(git log -1 --pretty=%s $r)"' - so I usually do # hack git add -p git fixup HEAD~3 git notes add -m 'fix foo' which combined with notes.rewriteRef=refs/notes/* (and notes.rewriteMode left at the default of 'concatenate') means that I end up having a little list of reminders what changed since the last revisions. I then simply clear them out before starting a new round. -- Thomas Rast trast@{inf,student}.ethz.ch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
