And after recovering, back to the rebase-i-p branch!

Monday, 9th of March, Anno Domini MMIX, at the hour of the Rat
- -

So, what is missing from my rebase-i-p branch?

- -

-

- I regularly use rebase -i -p these days, to update my personal Git - tree (which used to be my-next). -

- There are a few things missing before I can start assembling a patch - series for submission: -

-

    -
  • I need to handle the commit parents which are outside of the rebased - ones properly. In other words, when a commit is picked whose parent is - not rebased, it needs to be rebased onto $ONTO. -
  • The patch which uses patch-id to generate DROPPED directly also tries to - consolidate the handling of DROPPED commits by putting them into REWRITTEN - instead of DROPPED, but that breaks the tests. So, this patch needs to be - split. -
  • I want to introduce one more command, rephrase, which allows you to - modify the commit message, and nothing more, and halt, which does the - same as edit without pick. Then there needs to be a new test script - for those commands, and this will be an early patch series. -
  • Time. I need time, desperately. If my day job was not as exciting as it - is, I would have more time for Git. As it is, I have to budget my time so - that I get anything done at all. -
-

- These issues have been postponed due to Steffen taking a well-deserved - vacation, which means that I have to act as msysGit maintainer again. -

- And this coming week, I will have other things to do in all likeliness, so - that I expect to be able to submit a rebase -i -p patch series only next - week. If not then, due to a heavy workload, it will be postponed to early - April. -

- Oh well, the joys of being excited by several competing projects! ☺ -
