Re: [RFC/PATCH] cherry-pick/revert: add support for -X/--strategy-option

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

 



I think this is a good thing -- all commands that use an underlying merge should support these options.

Would it make sense at some level to allow some other means of cleanly passing this information around? Perhaps an environment variable for merge options?

For example, this would allow cherry-picking or reverting patches from
a piece of history with a different end-of-line style, like so:

	$ git revert -Xrenormalize old-problematic-commit

Currently that is possible with manual use of merge-recursive but the
cherry-pick/revert porcelain does not expose the functionality.

While at it, document the existing support for --strategy.

Ping?  I use this with -Xpatience fairly often.  Am I the only one who
has wanted such a thing?
