Re: cogito - how do I ???

1) Something similar to "bk changes -R". I use this to see what has
happened upstream - to see if I really want to merge stuff.

Not sure what bk did here, but you can do something like:

cg-pull origin
cg-log -c -r origin

In the raw git interfaces, you'd basically have to do the same thing that
"git-pull-script" does, except that _instead_ of calling the
git-resolve-script thing, you'd do

	git-rev-tree MERGE_HEAD ^HEAD | git-diff-tree -v -m -s --stdin

That looks ... long.
I can teach my fingers to use: cg-log, but the above is just too much 
to type/remeber do a daily operation.

In bk the usage pattern was to check what was in mainline _before_
fetching and merging. So it seems that with git/cogoto one
has to fetch the chages, inspect them, and then decide to apply or not.

When the fetches changes stay in MERGE_HEAD I assume my work when
committed will be based on top of HEAD - so I do not have to know
if I have fetched some (unmerged) updates.

to show what is in the downloaded MERGE_HEAD but not in HEAD.

2) Export of individual patches. "bk export -tpatch -r1.2345"
I have nu public git repository yet so I have to feed changes as
plain patches. Browsing cg-* I did not find the command to do this.

cg-diff -p -r SHA1

And again, without the porcelain this is:

	git-diff-tree -v -p <name>

The key here is the SHA1. I hoped to avoid specifying SHA1's with
cogito, I so often miss one character when doing copy'n'paste.


Thanks all for the replies. Now I feel a bit more confident in this.
