Subject: [RFC][GSOC] Microproject Suggestion
Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2020 02:52:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CALH1-Xr_pK02j6_51EnZN=ZrSz6dijt9tn0ANJ21331GzAmBdQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi, so it came to my attention that GSOC applicants will need to
submit a microproject to be considered. I was thinking about
implementing the squash as a separate feature from rebase. I did not
dig up enough in the mail history to know whether this was suggested
before or not.

It would be something that looks like this:
> git squash <number_of_commits> [--offset-from-head=0]
I did not really think it through, yet, and I don't know what options
could be put there so I am open to suggestions.

My motivation is quite simple. I think it is more intuitive. When
someone first asked me to squash multiple commits before, the first
thing I had in mind was `git squash`. It was kind of a disappointment
that this was not its own command.

So does that sound like a good idea?
