[PATCH] branch, config: teach branch.autosetuprebase about 'merges' mode

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

 



From: Alex Reed <acreed4@xxxxxxxxx>

branch.autoSetupRebase now honors the 'merges' flag, allowing tracking branches
to be auto-populated with 'branch.<name>.rebase = merges'.  This allows complex
workflows to more easily retain non-trivial merges while rebasing branches on
pull operations.  Seeding new branches with 'branch.<name>.rebase = true' is not
always sufficient (read: not project default) and requiring developers to
manually reconfigure every new branch is cumbersome and error-prone.

    branch, config: teach branch.autosetuprebase about 'merges' mode
    
    branch.autoSetupRebase now honors the 'merges' flag, allowing tracking
    branches to be auto-populated with 'branch..rebase = merges'. This
    allows complex workflows to more easily retain non-trivial merges while
    rebasing branches on pull operations. Seeding new branches with
    'branch..rebase = true' is not always sufficient (read: not project
    default) and requiring developers to manually reconfigure every new
    branch is cumbersome and error-prone.
