TopGit: how to deal with upstream inclusion

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

 



Hi Petr, hi Gits,

So the Debian topgit package used to have a branch fixes/destdir to
make the Makefile distro-friendly. TopGit 0.3 has integrated this,
thus obsoleting the fixes/destdir branch.

I thought the way to handle this would be to simply delete the
TopGit branch, but of course that breaks everything, e.g.:

lapse:..t/topgit|debian/locations|% tg update
tg: fatal: some dependencies are missing: fixes/destdir

I now we had a recent discussion about how to remove branches, and
that there's basically no way to do this. In the discussion,
upstream inclusion was listed as one of the instances when this
wouldn't be needed, but that refers to upstream pulling/am'ing my
commits, not implementing the same functionality differently.

How do I retire the fixes/destdir branch? Do I manually remove the
dependency from depending branches?

Thanks,
