30 This command commits a set of changes on a separate (called public) branch
31 based on the modifications of the given or current stack. The history of the
32 public branch is not re-written, making it merge-friendly and feasible for
33 publishing. The heads of the stack and public branch may be different but the
34 corresponding tree objects are always the same.
36 If the trees of the stack and public branch are different (otherwise the
37 command has no effect), StGit first checks for a rebase of the stack since the
38 last publishing. If a rebase is detected, StGit creates a commit on the public
39 branch corresponding to a merge between the new stack base and the latest
40 public head.
42 If no rebasing was detected, StGit checks for new patches that may have been
43 created on top of the stack since the last publishing. If new patches are
44 found and are not empty, they are checked into the public branch keeping the
45 same commit information (e.g. log message, author, committer, date).
47 If the above tests fail (e.g. patches modified or removed), StGit creates a
48 new commit on the public branch having the same tree as the stack but the
49 public head as its parent. The editor will be invoked if no "--message" option
50 is given.
52 It is recommended that stack modifications falling in different categories as
53 described above are separated by a publish command in order to keep the public
54 branch history cleaner (otherwise StGit would generate a big commit including
55 several stack modifications).
57 The public branch name can be set via the branch.<branch>.public configuration
58 variable (defaulting to "<branch>.public").
