[RFC] git-svn: make git-svn commit-diff able to work without explicit arguments

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

 



Hello,

When using git-svn to access a SVN repo, the commit policy may vary. While git makes you commit small patches often, svn users tend to prefer bigger patches that implement a functionnality at once.

So at the end you have a SVN commit which corresponds to several git ones.

What you can do in this case is :

  git-svn commit-diff --edit -r$REV remotes/git-svn HEAD

Which effect is that it commits (at once) all the commits between the latest svn fetch and HEAD.

What I'm proposing here is this:

 - use the latest fetched rev the default for the -r argument.
 - use remotes/git-svn and HEAD the defaults for the treeish objects.

A smarter way to take these defaults would be to take the last revision in the current branch (which can be something else than git-svn if it wasn't rebased/merged recently) and the relevant commit in the current branch.

Additionnaly, --edit could be enabled by default if -m is not set and it is used interactively, eventually using an option in repo-config.

Any comment ?
