Re: [PATCH v4 21/23] merge: teach --autostash option

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

 



Hi Denton

Thanks for re-rolling, I think this addresses all of my previous concerns, I've got a few minor comments below and a query about 'git merge --quit'

On 04/04/2020 02:11, Denton Liu wrote:
In rebase, one can pass the `--autostash` option to cause the worktree
to be automatically stashed before continuing with the rebase. This
option is missing in merge, however.

Implement the `--autostash` option and corresponding `merge.autoStash`
option in merge which stashes before merging and then pops after.

This option is useful when a developer has some local changes on a topic
branch but they realize that their work depends on another branch.
Previously, they had to run something like

	git fetch ...
	git stash push
	git merge FETCH_HEAD
	git stash pop

but now, that is reduced to

	git fetch ...
	git merge --autostash FETCH_HEAD

When an autostash is generated, it is automatically reapplied to the
worktree only in three explicit situations:

	1. An incomplete merge is commit using `git commit`.
	2. A merge completes successfully.
	3. A merge is aborted using `git merge --abort`.

In all other situations where the merge state is removed using
remove_merge_branch_state() such as aborting a merge via
`git reset --hard`, the autostash is saved into the stash reflog
instead keeping the worktree clean.

I think this is the right place to apply the stash. There is a corner case - if commit_index_files() fails then we leave MERGE_AUTOSTASH lying around. I think that is probably the best we can do - if we cannot write the new index file to disk then saving or applying the stash would probably fail as well.
