[PATCH] pull --rebase: be cleverer with rebased upstream branches

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When the upstream branch is tracked, we can detect if that branch
was rebased since it was last fetched.  Teach git to use that
information to rebase from the old remote head onto the new remote head.

	Sorry, took me quite some time.

	But I had a problem with the documentation: how am I supposed to 
	do the continuation of an indented paragraph, without using that 
	ugly "+" and unindenting the next paragraph?
