From 7543f6f4441a0ec76460a54f90ab8674fe424786 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2018 14:29:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rebase -i: introduce --rebase-merges=[no-]rebase-cousins When running `git rebase --rebase-merges` non-interactively with an ancestor of HEAD as (or leaving the todo list unmodified), we would ideally recreate the exact same commits as before the rebase. However, if there are commits in the commit range .. that do not have as direct ancestor (i.e. if `git log ..` would show commits that are omitted by `git log --ancestry-path ..`), this is currently not the case: we would turn them into commits that have as direct ancestor. Let's illustrate that with a diagram: C / \ A - B - E - F \ / D Currently, after running `git rebase -i --rebase-merges B`, the new branch structure would be (pay particular attention to the commit `D`): --- C' -- / \ A - B ------ E' - F' \ / D' This is not really preserving the branch topology from before! The reason is that the commit `D` does not have `B` as ancestor, and therefore it gets rebased onto `B`. This is unintuitive behavior. Even worse, when recreating branch structure, most use cases would appear to want cousins *not* to be rebased onto the new base commit. For example, Git for Windows (the heaviest user of the Git garden shears, which served as the blueprint for --rebase-merges) frequently merges branches from `next` early, and these branches certainly do *not* want to be rebased. In the example above, the desired outcome would look like this: --- C' -- / \ A - B ------ E' - F' \ / -- D' -- Let's introduce the term "cousins" for such commits ("D" in the example), and let's not rebase them by default. For hypothetical use cases where cousins *do* need to be rebased, `git rebase --rebase=merges=rebase-cousins` needs to be used.
