If you need to build on top of it to correct + earlier mistakes, a new topic branch is created by forking at + the tip of the "master". This is not strictly necessary, but + it makes it easier to keep your history simple. + + * Whenever you need to test or publish your changes to topic + branches, merge them into "next" branch. + +The script, being an example, hardcodes the publish branch name +to be "next", but it is trivial to make it configurable via +$GIT_DIR/config mechanism. + +With this workflow, you would want to know: + +(1) ... if a topic branch has ever been merged to "next". Young + topic branches can have stupid mistakes you would rather + clean up before publishing, and things that have not been + merged into other branches can be easily rebased without + affecting other people. But once it is published, you would + not want to rewind it. + +(2) ... if a topic branch has been fully merged to "master". + Then you can delete it. More importantly, you should not + build on top of it -- other people may already want to + change things related to the topic as patches against your + "master", so if you need further changes, it is better to + fork the topic (perhaps with the same name) afresh from the + tip of "master". + +Let's look at this example: + + o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o "next" + / / / / + / a---a---b A / / + / / / / + / / c---c---c---c B / + / / / \ / + / / / b---b C \ / + / / / / \ / + ---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o "master" + + +A, B and C are topic branches. + + * A has one fix since it was merged up to "next". + + * B has finished. It has been fully merged up to "master" and "next", + and is ready to be deleted. + + * C has not merged to "next" at all. + +We would want to allow C to be rebased, refuse A, and encourage +B to be deleted. + +To compute (1): + + git rev-list ^master ^topic next + git rev-list ^master next + + if these match, topic has not merged in next at all. + +To compute (2): + + git rev-list master..topic + + if this is empty, it is fully merged to "master". |
