[PATCH] guilt: force the use of bare branches

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:57:24

To make it harder to accidentally do "git push" with a guilt patch
applied, "guilt push" changes branch from e.g. "master" to
"guilt/master" starting with commit 67d3af63f422.  This is a feature
which I use for ext4 development; I actually *do* want to be able to
push patches to the dev branch, which is a rewindable branch much like
git's "pu" branch.

Allow the use of the environment variable GUILT_FORCE_BARE_BRANCH
which disables the new behavior introduced by commit 67d3af63f422.

Would it make sense to make it git-config-able instead?  As an added bonus,
one can then make the decision on per-repository basis.

Jeff.

I just posted an alternative patch that solves the same issue.
I forgot to add in-reply-to headers, and did change the subject
to "Added guilt.reusebranch configuration option". Sorry if I've
caused any confusion.

[PATCH] Added guilt.reusebranch configuration option.

From: Per Cederqvist <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:57:24

When the option is true (the default), Guilt does not create a new Git
branch when patches are applied.  This way, you can switch between
Guilt 0.35 and the current version of Guilt with no issues.

At a future time, maybe a year after Guilt with guilt.reusebranch
support is released, the default should be changed to "false" to take
advantage of the ability to use a separate Git branch when patches are
applied.

This is an alternative solution to the same problem.  I've been running
with this code for a while.  I don't remember if I sent it to the list
before, but if I did it was apparently lost.  Sorry if I never sent it.

This version includes some regression tests.

(I'm having mail problems. Apologies if you receive this patch twice.)

Re: [PATCH] Added guilt.reusebranch configuration option.

When the option is true (the default), Guilt does not create a new Git
branch when patches are applied.  This way, you can switch between
Guilt 0.35 and the current version of Guilt with no issues.

At a future time, maybe a year after Guilt with guilt.reusebranch
support is released, the default should be changed to "false" to take
advantage of the ability to use a separate Git branch when patches are
applied.
So, I've been using the always-on prefix code and I do like it.  It makes me
reasonably happy that other people that work on the same repo won't screw it
up.  So, with that said, I'm tempted to actually make the default the
new-style prefix.  If someone (there's at least Ted) wants the old behavior,
they'll have the config.

IOW, I'm tempted to apply this patch with a minor tweak: change the default
to new-style.

This is an alternative solution to the same problem.  I've been running
with this code for a while.  I don't remember if I sent it to the list
before, but if I did it was apparently lost.  Sorry if I never sent it.
For all I know, I just dropped this patch on the floor by accident :/

Jeff.

This version includes some regression tests.

(I'm having mail problems. Apologies if you receive this patch twice.)

Re: [PATCH] Added guilt.reusebranch configuration option.

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:57:24

I just had another idea (although I haven't had a chance to code up
anything yet).  Perhaps instead of, or in addition to, a global
setting (i.e., guilt.reusebranch), perhaps we should have a per-branch
setting, such as branch.<branch>.guiltReuseBranch?

I was actually thinking that it might be interesting to have a
branch.<branch>.rewindable, which would change the guilt defaults, and
could also key changes in key git behavior which makes it less likely
that a user shoots him or herself in the foot --- i.e., give warnings
if he or she has modified the branch in such a way that
remotes.origin.<branch> is no longer contained within the branch head.

Interesting!  I wonder what git people have to say about this.
