From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2007 17:59:43 +0000 (+0100) Subject: Teach rebase -i about --preserve-merges X-Git-Tag: v1.5.3-rc0~13^2 X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f09c9b8c5ff9d8a15499b09ccd6c3e7b3c76af77;p=git.git Teach rebase -i about --preserve-merges 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 " 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 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.
