[PATCH v2] sequencer: write useful reflog message for fast-forward

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

 



The following command

  $ git cherry-pick --ff b8bb3f

writes the following uninformative message to the reflog

  cherry-pick

Improve it to

  cherry-pick: fast-forward

Avoid hard-coding "cherry-pick" in fast_forward_to(), so the sequencer
is generic enough to support future actions.

 Changes since v1:

 - fast_forward_to() now takes opts to determine action_name()
 - strbuf_release() to free memory
