[PATCH/RFCv5 2/3] git rebase -i: warn about removed commits

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

 



Check if commits were removed (i.e. a line was deleted) and print
warnings or stop git rebase depending on the value of the
configuration variable rebase.missingCommitsCheck.

This patch gives the user the possibility to avoid silent loss of
information (losing a commit through deleting the line in this case)
if he wants.

Add the configuration variable rebase.missingCommitsCheck.
    - When unset or set to "ignore", no checking is done.
    - When set to "warn", the commits are checked, warnings are
      displayed but git rebase still proceeds.
    - When set to "error", the commits are checked, warnings are
      displayed and the rebase is stopped.
      (The user can then use 'git rebase --edit-todo' and
      'git rebase --continue', or 'git rebase --abort')

rebase.missingCommitsCheck defaults to "ignore".

 In git-rebase--interactive, in the error case of check_todo_list, I
 added 'git checkout $onto' so that using 'die' for the error allows
 to use 'git rebase --edit-todo' (otherwise HEAD would not have been
 changed and it still would be placed after the commits of the
 rebase).
 Since now it doesn't abort the rebase, the documentation and the
 messages in the case error have changed.
 I moved the error case away from the initial test case for missing
 commits as to prepare for 3/3 part of the patch. It is something that
 was advised by Eric Sunshine when I checked both missing and
 duplicated commits, but that I removed it when removing the checking
 for duplicated commits since there was only one test. However I add
 it again since 3/3 will add more checking.
 I use the variable raiseError that I affect if the error must be
 raised instead of testing directly because I think it makes more
 sense with 3/3 and if we add other check in the future since it adds
 more possible errors (the test for the error case if not something
 like 'if (test checkLevel = error && test -s todo.miss) || test cond2
 || test cond3 || ...').
 I am wondering if a check_todo_list call should be added in the
 '--continue' part of the code: with this patch, the checking is only
 done once, if the user doesn't edit correctly with 'git rebase
 --edit-todo', it won't be picked by this.
 In the tests in t3404 I now also test that the warning/error messages
 are correct.
 I tried to not change this patch too much since it was already
 heavily reviewed, but there are some changes (mostly the ones
 mentionned above).
