'git rebase' does not recognize revisions specified as :/text. This is because the attempts to rev-parse ${REV}^0, which fails in this case. Add a test to document this failure. Signed-off-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@xxxxxxxxx> --- Okay, so I'm not sure what the right fix for this is. - The :/text syntax seems to be broken in the first place, as it can't be combined with ^ or @. I'd like to be able to say {:/bardery}^1, or even {:/foomery}^{/communist mule}. Why shouldn't I be allowed to do this? - The failure occurs in git-rebase.sh:403. Is it using the ^0 only to make sure that the revision specified is a commit? Surely, there'a a better way to do this? Can someone point me in the right direction? t/t3400-rebase.sh | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/t/t3400-rebase.sh b/t/t3400-rebase.sh index f6cc102..42ca1e0 100755 --- a/t/t3400-rebase.sh +++ b/t/t3400-rebase.sh @@ -88,6 +88,14 @@ test_expect_success 'rebase fast-forward to master' ' test_i18ngrep "Fast-forwarded HEAD to my-topic-branch" out ' +test_expect_failure 'rebase against revision specified as :/text' ' + git checkout my-topic-branch^ && + sha1=$(git rev-parse ":/Add B") && + git rebase $sha1 && + git checkout my-topic-branch^ && + git rebase ":/Add B" +' + test_expect_success 'the rebase operation should not have destroyed author information' ' !
