[PATCH v9 0/9] rebase: learn --keep-base and improvements on fast-forward behaviour

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

 



Hi all, it's been a while but I guess now's a good time as any to
resurrect this topic. This is basically a resubmission of Ævar's WIP v8
but I fixed a couple of minor whitespace issues.

In addition, I opted to drop patches 9-13 from v8 since I don't think I
can do a good enough job polishing them up and I don't really understand
the intricacies of this part of the rebase code. Hopefully, Ævar will
pick them up at a later time.

Changes since v1:

* Squashed old set into one patch
* Fixed indentation style and dangling else
* Added more documentation after discussion with Ævar

Changes since v2:

* Add testing for rebase --fork-point behaviour
* Add testing for rebase fast-forward behaviour
* Make rebase --onto fast-forward in more cases
* Update documentation to include use-case

Changes since v3:

* Fix tests failing on bash 4.2
* Fix typo in t3431 comment

Changes since v4:

* Make rebase --fork-point fast-forward in more cases

Changes since v5:

* Fix graph illustrations so that the "branch off" is visually in the
  correct place
* Refactor if-else in can_fast_forward into one-level-deep ifs to
  increase clarity

Changes since v6:

* Remove redundant braces around if
* Update comment around can_fast_forward call
* Add completion for rebase

Changes since v7:

* Ævar sent in his WIP patchset

Changes since v8:

* Drop patches 9-13
* Fix some minor whitespace issues from v7

         Add '-f' to test cases that failed as a result of this change because
         they were not expecting a fast-forward so that a rebase is forced.
