Subject: [PATCH v1 2/3] doc: rebase: fixup! can take an object name
Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2016 22:46:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160814214630.1312-3-philipoakley@iee.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160814214630.1312-1-philipoakley@iee.org>

Since 68d5d03 (rebase: teach --autosquash to match on sha1 in addition
to message, 2010-11-04) the commit subject can refer directly to the
destination object hash as a single word.)...

v1
This is about the actual commit subject line, rather than the --fixup
options to the commit command.

This came out of https://public-inbox.org/git/FAE9116880074D6FA421942CCAEC368F@PhilipOakley/
where I was expecting to be able to say 'fixup! <sha1> my message', but
I can't (which would be another day's patch - fixup! <rev>! my message').

One question is whether 'standalone' is clear enough, or needs to say
'single word revision'? (which would mean it's not 'object name')

Further, with more digging, I think that any
rev specifier that has no spaces should work [1], despite the 68d5d's
title. Though maybe during the relevant phase of rebase -i some of the
rev specifiers may not work because of the series being rewound - dunno.
