[PATCH v2 00/15] rebase: make the default backend configurable

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

 



This series does a lot of work around making the default rebase backend
configurable, and switching the default from the am backend to the
merge/interactive one.

See the cover letter for v1[*] for a more detailed motivation for the
series, the type of changes being made, and areas I'd like to reviewers to
focus on.

Changes since v1:

 * Made some cleanups to the empty type parsing, as suggested by Junio
   (Patch 1)
 * Changed the shell prompt for all rebases to just be "REBASE", as
   suggested by SZEDER (Patch 11)
 * Correctly check that work was done (by checking that reflog grew, patch
   6); flagged by Denton

     -    contrib: change the prompt for am-based rebases
     -
     -    The prompt for am-based rebases was REBASE, while for interactive-based
     -    rebases was REBASE-i.  A while ago, we switched merge-based rebases from
     -    using REBASE-m to REBASE-i via re-implementing the merge backend based
     -    on the interactive backend.  We will soon be changing the default rebase
     -    backend to the interactive one, meaning the default prompt will be
     -    REBASE-i rather than REBASE.  We have also noted in the documentation
     -    that currently am-specific options will be implemented in the
     -    interactive backend, and even the --am flag may eventually imply an
     -    interactive-based rebase.  As such, change the prompt for an am-based
     -    rebase from REBASE to REBASE-a.
     +    contrib: change the prompt for interactive-based rebases
     +
     +    In the past, we had different prompts for different types of rebases:
     +       REBASE: for am-based rebases
     +       REBASE-m: for merge-based rebases
     +       REBASE-i: for interactive-based rebases
     +
     +    It's not clear why this distinction was necessary or helpful; when the
     +    prompt was added in commit e75201963f67 ("Improve bash prompt to detect
     +    various states like an unfinished merge", 2007-09-30), it simply added
     +    these three different types.  Perhaps there was a useful purpose back
     +    then, but there have been some changes:
     +
     +      * The merge backend was deleted after being implemented on top of the
     +        interactive backend, causing the prompt for merge-based rebases to
     +        change from REBASE-m to REBASE-i.
     +      * The interactive backend is used for multiple different types of
     +        non-interactive rebases, so the "-i" part of the prompt doesn't
     +        really mean what it used to.
     +      * Rebase backends have gained more abilities and have a great deal of
     +        overlap, sometimes making it hard to distinguish them.
     +      * Behavioral differences between the backends have also been ironed
     +        out.
     +      * We want to change the default backend from am to interactive, which
     +        means people would get "REBASE-i" by default if we didn't change
     +        the prompt, and only if they specified --am or --whitespace or -C
     +        would they get the "REBASE" prompt.
     +      * In the future, we plan to have "--whitespace", "-C", and even "--am"
     +        run the interactive backend once it can handle everything the
     +        am-backend can.
     +
     +    For all these reasons, make the prompt for any type of rebase just be
     +    "REBASE".
