Thanks for this feature!
I am playing around with this series, and here comes a feature request:
I have a local branch with no upstream set. My usual workflow is like this
git checkout origin/master
# toy around, do stuff
git checkout -b new-shiny-feature
git format-patch origin-master..
Now I have set the format.useautobase option and then the `git format-patch`
fails with
fatal: Failed to get upstream, if you want to record base commit
automatically,
please use git branch --set-upstream-to to track a remote branch.
Or you could specify base commit by --base=<base-commit-id> manually.
but as I indicated I want patches from origin/master onwards,
Could we make use of that information? To record the base in my workflow
currently I need to do:
git format-patch origin/master.. --base=origin/master
which seems redundant to me.
(I may be holding it wrong though? Should I try to set upstream
branches for my local branches? This seems weird to me as I cannot
push/change the upstream branches directly, as Junio owns the branches)
Thanks,
Stefan
