[PATCH 16/18] revert: Don't implicitly stomp pending sequencer operation

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

 



Protect the user from forgetting about a pending sequencer operation
by immediately erroring out when an existing cherry-pick or revert
operation is in progress like:

  $ git cherry-pick foo
  ... conflict ...
  $ git cherry-pick moo
  error: .git/sequencer already exists
  hint: A cherry-pick or revert is in progress
  hint: Use --reset to forget about it
  fatal: cherry-pick failed

A naive version of this would break the following established ways of
working:

  $ git cherry-pick foo
  ... conflict ...
  $ git reset --hard  # I actually meant "moo" when I said "foo"
  $ git cherry-pick moo

  $ git cherry-pick foo
  ... conflict ...
  $ git commit # commit the resolution
  $ git cherry-pick moo # New operation

However, the previous patches "reset: Make reset remove the sequencer
state" and "revert: Remove sequencer state when no commits are
pending" make sure that this does not happen.
