Comments? That may be well when no patch depends on the one you kill. In that case, it surely requires some work to handfix things. I'd suggest to use stgit to prepare commits before publication. Even if you don't feel the need for it in everyday life, you can have a one-shot use for this particular problem, by turning your latest commits into an stgit stack, use stgit facilities to handle posible conflicts, and turn them into commits again: The nominal case goes: stg init stg uncommit -n <ncommits> stg float <patch-to-kill> stg delete <patch-to-kill> And if there is any conflict, you can still solve them, decide to change your plans, get diffs from gitk, etc. Best regards, -- Yann. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
