Yes, that was the point of the series. >> Couldn't "stg pick --reverse" create a new commit and use that?

The only call to new_patch with commit=False > seems to be from 'uncommit' (and it makes sense indeed). It might be true that the assertion could be amended so that if commit=True, then it is allowed to have top/bottom that doesn't correspond to a commit and its parent. But it's hard to be sure without looking at the code much harder than I did just now. Testing would also help. >> And shouldn't there be a test for this? :-) > > Yes :-).
