Subject: Bug with "git rebase" when format.useAutoBase is set
Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2019 14:50:18 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAPTJ0XEcMJEwPBEL4akncJ_A5XwyQyKL95fpf2tC0rNXJK65Og@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello!

I recently tried setting the format.useAutoBase setting to true so
that patches I send with git format-patch identify their base commit.

Unfortunately this seems to break "git rebase" completely, I always
get the following error. Is this expected? This is with git version
2.24.0.432.g9d3f5f5b63-goog

$ git rebase --onto  foo 4a7dabea39556979cbf6bcbdd98a9413ce129fd0
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
fatal: failed to get upstream, if you want to record base commit automatically,
please use git branch --set-upstream-to to track a remote branch.
Or you could specify base commit by --base=<base-commit-id> manually
error:
git encountered an error while preparing the patches to replay
these revisions:

    4a7dabea39556979cbf6bcbdd98a9413ce129fd0..12f4dc41bf9f018ecc1042830d5534de941f329e

As a result, git cannot rebase them.
