One thing I would like to see in stgit is the opposite of "stg commit"; instead of converting patches to regular commits, take the topmost regular commits and convert them to patches. For example, "stg uncommit foo bar baz" would -- regardless of any existing patches, applied or not -- convert the top three regular commits, with comments and all, to stgit patches called foo, bar, and baz. These would be already applied, at the bottom of the stack. I imagine all one would have to do is to modify some stgit metadata, so the operation could be really cheap. Of course, "stg uncommit" is allowed to reject any commit with more than one parent, since those can't be represented as stgit patches. This would perhaps not add much power to an all-stgit workflow, but it would be a really convenient way to edit recent git history. Sort of like a more convenient rebase. And a great way to lure new users. :-) -- Karl Hasselström, kha@treskal.com www.treskal.com/kalle - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Tue Feb 14 21:09:24 2006
