[PATCH v5 2/4] git-cherry-pick: Add keep-redundant-commits option

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

 



The git-cherry-pick --allow-empty command by default only preserves empty
commits that were originally empty, i.e only those commits for which
<commit>^{tree} and <commit>^^{tree} are equal.  By default commits which are
non-empty, but were made empty by the inclusion of a prior commit on the current
history are filtered out.  This option allows us to override that behavior and
include redundant commits as empty commits in the change history.
