Hello all!
My question is how can I use git-rebase -- or a similar command --
to actually copy the commits from one branch to another.
For example I have cloned the linux kernel repository and I have
the following branches:
-- v2.6.22-stable
-- v2.6.23-local
-- v2.6.23-stable
-- v2.6.23-local
The difference between v2.6.x-stable and v2.6.x-local are just a
few minor patches (which are not in the default kernel tree) and some
script files added to make the compilation and deployment easier for
my setup. Thus v2.6.x-local is an ancestor of v2.6.x-stable. Now when
v2.6.24 will arrive I would like to "copy" the commits from
v2.6.23-local to v2.6.24-local.
One solution would be to use:
git rebase --onto v2.6.24-local v2.6.23-stable v2.6.23-local
But this will not copy the commits, but actually move them. (And I
do not see anything about this case in the git rebase documentation,
or pointers to other commands similar to rebase.)
So how should this be done?
Thanks,
Ciprian Craciun.
P.S.: The simplest solution would be to obtain the list of commits
and apply them with cherry-pick... But this is not that straight
forward...
