Subject: [PATCH 1/3] rebase: teach rebase --keep-base
Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2019 08:25:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f802e5442013613221a4efd8ef1fecce0f3a9914.1553354374.git.liu.denton@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1553354374.git.liu.denton@gmail.com>

A common scenario is if a user is working on a topic branch and they
wish to make some changes to intermediate commits or autosquashing, they
would run something such as

	git rebase -i --onto master... master

in order to preserve the merge base. This prevents unnecessary commit
churning.

Alternatively, a user wishing to test individual commits in a topic
branch without changing anything may run

	git rebase -x ./test.sh master... master

Since rebasing onto the merge base of the branch and the upstream is
such a common case, introduce the --keep-base option as a shortcut.

This allows us to rewrite the above as

	git rebase -i --keep-base master

and

	git rebase -x ./test.sh --keep-base master

respectively.
