It's always a good idea when mentioning specific commits to CC the commit author (which I've done here). > I am currently using the `[pull] rebase = true` option; and basically > that warning is also coming every time I am pulling. OK, that would mean either: 1- each time you are pulling, the upstream branch *did* get some of your local commits somehow, so the warning is justified or 2- the upstream branch *did not* get some of your local commits, so the warning is shown but shouldn't be, and that's a bug. Which one is it? > I have tried doing `git pull --reapply-cherry-picks`; however, it > seems that the `git pull` cannot pass options to the underlying `git > rebase` invocation. Indeed, it can't. I agree it would be nice to be able to do that, and the same for 'merge', I would say. Right now a lot of 'merge' options are duplicated in 'git pull'. > > I noticed that there is no way to "set" the `--reapply-cherry-picks` > in the gitconfig options.

Careful, as this is not the exact equivalent of 'git pull --rebase', as the documentation for that option states [1]: If there is a remote-tracking branch corresponding to the upstream branch and the upstream branch was rebased since last fetched, the rebase uses that information to avoid rebasing non-local changes. (see also paragraphs 2-3 of [2], [3] [4] and [5]). > > Also with every rebase I am doing, I'd have to remember that. > And it is probably not possible (by design) to do `alias.rebase = > rebase --reapply-cherry-picks` - which I understand. > (however, allowing aliases like `alias.x = x --cmd-opts` does not > sound "so bad" with me) Yes, that's considered "by design" that you can't alias an existing command using the exact command name. That is to make sure that scripts have consistent behaviour across users (other config options can still affect behaviour, but anyway that's the justification I've read before on the list). What I can suggest is using 're = rebase --reapply-cherry-picks' and then retrain your finger ;) > > Would you consider adding a configuration option for the > `--reapply-cherry-picks`? > > With regards, > Ntentos Stavros > > Cheers, Philippe.
