[PATCH v6 1/5] branch: move --set-upstream-to behavior to dwim_and_setup_tracking()

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

 



This refactor is motivated by a desire to add a "dry_run" parameter to
create_branch() that will validate whether or not a branch can be
created without actually creating it - this behavior will be used in a
subsequent commit that adds `git branch --recurse-submodules topic`.

Adding "dry_run" is not obvious because create_branch() is also used to
set tracking information without creating a branch, i.e. when using
--set-upstream-to. This appears to be a leftover from 4fc5006676 (Add
branch --set-upstream, 2010-01-18), when --set-upstream would sometimes
create a branch and sometimes update tracking information without
creating a branch. However, we no longer support --set-upstream, so it
makes more sense to set tracking information with another function and
use create_branch() only to create branches. In a later commit, we will
remove the now-unnecessary logic from create_branch() so that "dry_run"
becomes trivial to implement.

Introduce dwim_and_setup_tracking(), which replaces create_branch()
in `git branch --set-upstream-to`. Ensure correctness by moving the DWIM
and branch validation logic from create_branch() into a helper function,
dwim_branch_start(), so that the logic is shared by both functions.
