Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] teach git-checkout -B WAS builtin/checkout: DWIM with -f -b
Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2010 03:28:57 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1277321340-4000-1-git-send-email-rctay89@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1277140782-4064-1-git-send-email-rctay89@gmail.com>

Right now, the -f/--force in git-checkout doesn't carry over to -b
operations - ie. you can't do git checkout -b branch on an existing
branch.

This patch allows you to do this with the -B option, so that one can do

  git checkout -B branch ref

which is equivalent to

  git branch -f branch ref && git checkout branch

Changes from v1:
 - reworked option handling
 - don't replace <new_branch> with <branch> in documentation

Contents:
[PATCH v2 1/3] add tests for checkout -b
[PATCH v2 2/3] builtin/checkout: reword hint for -b
[PATCH v2 3/3] builtin/checkout: learn -B
