Hello,
I am not sure this is the best place to write about this. Anyway,
we just switched a couple of repositories to git (from svn) here
at work and one thing people find annoying is a pull into
a dirty directory. Before the "stash" feature it was even worse
but now we can type:
git stash
git pull
git stash apply
But isn't that something we should be able to specify to the "pull"
command ? Additionally and if I am not mistakn, those commands will
create "dangling" commits and blobs. So one has to execute:
git prune
Is there an "easier" way to pull into a dirty directory ? I am
asking this to make sure I understand the problem and not
because I find it annoying to type those 4 commands to perform
a pull (although some of my colleagues do find that annoying :).
For now, I am recommanding to my colleagues to commit very often
(even unfinished changes), pull, and then rebase the commits into
a more meaningful commit before pushing. Which seems to be a good
practice anyway,
Thank you for git,
- Aghiles.
ps; if someone is interested to hear what is the general opinion
on switching to git from svn in our company, I could elaborate.
