2007-10-16git-rebase: document suppression of duplicate commitsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+24
git-rebase uses format-patch's --ignore-if-in-upstream option, but we never document the user-visible behavior. The example is placed near the top of the example list rather than at the bottom because it is: a. a simple example b. a reasonably common scenario for many projects (mail some patches which get accepted upstream, then rebase) [sp: Corrected direction of 'HEAD..<upstream>' set comparsion] Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-09-29rebase -i: squash should retain the authorship of the _first_ commitLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
It was determined on the mailing list, that it makes more sense for a "squash" to keep the author of the first commit as the author for the result of the squash. Make it so. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-09-07git-rebase: support --whitespace=<option>Libravatar J. Bruce Fields1-2/+7
Pass --whitespace=<option> to git-apply. Since git-apply and git-am expect this, I'm always surprised when I try to give it to git-rebase and it doesn't work. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-08-31rebase -i: mention the option to split commits in the man pageLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+38
The interactive mode of rebase can be used to split commits. Tell the interested parties about it, with a dedicated section in the man page. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-08-16Documentation/git-rebase: fix an exampleLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The example miscounted the commit to rebase from. Noticed by Cliff Brake. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-06-26Teach rebase -i about --preserve-mergesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+22
The option "-p" (or long "--preserve-merges") makes it possible to rebase side branches including merges, without straightening the history. Example: X \ A---M---B / ---o---O---P---Q When the current HEAD is "B", "git rebase -i -p --onto Q O" will yield X \ ---o---O---P---Q---A'---M'---B' Note that this will - _not_ touch X [*1*], it does - _not_ work without the --interactive flag [*2*], it does - _not_ guess the type of the merge, but blindly uses recursive or whatever strategy you provided with "-s <strategy>" for all merges it has to redo, and it does - _not_ make use of the original merge commit via git-rerere. *1*: only commits which reach a merge base between <upstream> and HEAD are reapplied. The others are kept as-are. *2*: git-rebase without --interactive is inherently patch based (at least at the moment), and therefore merges cannot be preserved.

2007-06-24Teach rebase an interactive modeLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+82
Don't you just hate the fact sometimes, that git-rebase just applies the patches, without any possibility to edit them, or rearrange them? With "--interactive", git-rebase now lets you edit the list of patches, so that you can reorder, edit and delete patches. Such a list will typically look like this: pick deadbee The oneline of this commit pick fa1afe1 The oneline of the next commit ... By replacing the command "pick" with the command "edit", you can amend that patch and/or its commit message, and by replacing it with "squash" you can tell rebase to fold that patch into the patch before that. It is derived from the script sent to the list in <Pine.LNX.4.63.0702252156190.22628@wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

2007-02-17Convert update-index references in docs to add.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+1
Since `git add` is the approved porcelain for an end-user to invoke when they want to manipulate the index, porcelain documentation should steer the user to this command rather than the pure plumbing update-index.

2007-02-17Attempt to improve git-rebase lead-in description.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-8/+14
It was mentioned on #git this morning that the lead-in description of git-rebase is very confusing. Too many branch this and branch that in a very short run of text. This new description attempts to walk the user through the command syntax, while also describing exactly what git-rebase is doing to their repository. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-02-08add -C[NUM] to git-amLibravatar Michael S. Tsirkin1-1/+7
Add -C[NUM] to git-am and git-rebase so that patches can be applied even if context has changed a bit. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-02-05Show an example of deleting commits with git-rebase.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+25
This particular use of git-rebase to remove a single commit or a range of commits from the history of a branch recently came up on the mailing list. Documenting the example should help other users arrive at the same solution on their own. It also was not obvious to the newcomer that git-rebase is able to accept any commit for --onto <newbase> and <upstream>. We should at least minimally document this, as much of the language in git-rebase's manpage refers to 'branch' rather than 'committish'. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Added example of transplantig feature branch from one development branch (for example "next") into the other development branch (for example "master").

2006-06-25rebase: allow --skip to work with --mergeLibravatar Eric Wong1-1/+0
Now that we control the merge base selection, we won't be forced into rolling things in that we wanted to skip beforehand. Also, add a test to ensure this all works as intended. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

git rebase [--onto <newbase>] <upstream> [<branch>] git rebase --continue git rebase --abort Add "--continue" to restart the rebase process after manually resolving conflicts. The user is warned if there are still differences between the index and the working files. Add "--abort" to restore the original branch, and remove the .dotest working files. Some minor additions to the git-rebase documentation. [jc: fix that applies to the maintenance track has been dealt with separately.] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

I found a paper thin man page for git-rebase, but was quite happy to see something much more useful in the usage statement of the script when I went there to find out how this thing worked.

2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+35
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.
