In using "git-rebase --interactive" to re-order commits you
occasionally get conflicts and will see a message like this:
When commiting, use the option '-c %s' to retain authorship and message
I was thinking that it might be nice to stash away this commit id
somewhere in GIT_DIR so that the user didn't have to explicitly
remember it, and add a new switch to git-commit that could be used to
automatically use that stashed commit id, something like:
git commit --retain
Although I most often see this kind of message in interactive
rebasing, the message is generated in builtin-revert.c when cherry-
picking, so you can also see it in any other situation where you're
cherry picking and there's a conflict.
What do people think? Would this be a nice usability improvement? Or
is it adding clutter?
Cheers,
Wincent
