Subject: [PATCH v2 00/14] pull: default warning improvements
Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2020 00:16:09 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201204061623.1170745-1-felipe.contreras@gmail.com> (raw)
The old thread "Pull is Mostly Evil" [1] came to haunt us back again.
The main solution--reject non-fast-forward merges by default--seems to have lost traction (again).
There are multiple approaches floating around, but no clear path forward.
This patch series attempts to fix as much as possible of the current situation without committing to
any particular solution.
It does:
1. Improve the current documentation
2. Improve the current default warning
3. Minimize the instances where we display the default warning
4. Add a --merge option
5. Improve the error message with --ff-only
6. Fix the behavior of the warning with --ff
And tentatively (and this should be the only controversial change):
7. Change the semantics of -ff-only
It does not:
* Introduce the suggested pull.mode
* Change the current default (still --ff)
It is not a complete solution, but should improve the current situation.
