flatten-merge history

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

 



Hi,

suppose the following history

    P - - - Q - - - - - R       <-extern

A -- - B - - - C - D - - - E   <-master
         \           \
          M ...       \         <-b1
                       \
                        W ...   <-b2


Note that master and extern do not have a common parent. Both histories are 'distinct', they do not share common files, so there can't be any merge conflicts. What i want to achieve is this history:

    P - - - Q - - - - - R       <-extern

A -P'- B'- Q'- C'- D'- R'- E'  <-master
         \           \
          M'...       \         <-b1
                       \
                        W'...   <-b2

The two histories should be merged in chronological order.
So while master reflects P-Q-R, b2 should only reflect P-Q and b1 should only reflect P.

All my current attempts (surgery with git replace or interactive rebase combined with merging) were not successfull.

Any ideas?

Best regards
Henning
