I do not remember the individual patches in the series, but I have to say that the script at the tip of the topic is, eh, less than ideal. Here is a small untested patch to fix a few issues I spotted while reading it for two minutes. * Why filter output from "rev-list --left-right A...B" and look for the ones that begin with ">"? Wouldn't "rev-list A..B" give that? * The abbreviated SHA-1 are made with "rev-list --abbrev=7" into $TODO in an earlier invocation, and it can be more than 7 letters to avoid ambiguity. Not just that "${r:0:7} is not even in POSIX", but use of it here is actively wrong. * There is no point in catting a single file and piping it into grep. git-rebase--interactive.sh | 7 ++++--- 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git i/git-rebase--interactive.sh w/git-rebase--interactive.sh index 848fbe7..a563dea 100755 --- i/git-rebase--interactive.sh +++ w/git-rebase--interactive.sh @@ -635,8 +635,8 @@ first and then run 'git rebase --continue' again." sed -n "s/^>//p" > "$DOTEST"/not-cherry-picks # Now all commits and note which ones are missing in # not-cherry-picks and hence being dropped - git rev-list $UPSTREAM...$HEAD --left-right | \ - sed -n "s/^>//p" | while read rev + git rev-list $UPSTREAM..$HEAD | + while read rev do if test -f "$REWRITTEN"/$rev -a "$(grep "$rev" "$DOTEST"/not-cherry-picks)" = "" then @@ -645,7 +645,8 @@ first and then run 'git rebase --continue' again." # just the history of its first-parent for others that will # be rebasing on top of it git rev-list --parents -1 $rev | cut -d' ' -f2 > "$DROPPED"/$rev - cat "$TODO" | grep -v "${rev:0:7}" > "${TODO}2" ; mv "${TODO}2" "$TODO" + short=$(git rev-list -1 --abbrev-commit --abbrev=7 $rev) + grep -v "^[a-z][a-z]* $short" <"$TODO" > "${TODO}2" ; mv "${TODO}2" "$TODO" rm "$REWRITTEN"/$rev fi done -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
