[PATCH v3 2/4] rebase: learn to rebase root commit

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

 



Teach git-rebase a new option --root, which instructs it to rebase the
entire history leading up to <branch>.  This option must be used with
--onto <newbase>, and causes commits that already exist in <newbase>
to be skipped.  (Normal operation skips commits that already exist in
<upstream> instead.)

The main use-case is with git-svn: suppose you start hacking (perhaps
offline) on a new project, but later notice you want to commit this
work to SVN.  You will have to rebase the entire history, including
the root commit, on a (possibly empty) commit coming from git-svn, to
establish a history connection.  This previously had to be done by
cherry-picking the root commit manually.
