Subject: [PATCH 0/9] Handle pull option precedence
Date: Sat, 17 Jul 2021 15:41:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.1049.git.git.1626536507.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
Based on a recent list of rules for flag/option precedence for git-pull[1]
from Junio (particularly focusing on rebase vs. merge vs. fast-forward),
here's an attempt to implement and document it. Given multiple recent
surprises from users about some of these behaviors[2][3] and a coworker just
yesterday expressing some puzzlement with git-pull and rebase vs. merge, it
seems like a good time to address some of these issues.
Since the handling of conflicting options was holding up two of Alex's
patches[4][5], and his patches fix some of the tests, I also include those
two patches in my series, with a few small changes to the first (so I've
kept him as author) and more substantial changes to the second (so I've
given him an Initial-patch-by attribution).
Quick overview:
* Patches 1-2: new testcases (see the commit messages for the rules)
* Patch 3: Alex's recent patch (abort if --ff-only but can't do so)
* Patches 4-6: fix the precedence parts Alex didn't cover
* Patch 7: Alex's other patch, abort if rebase vs. merge not specified
* Patch 8: Compatibility of git-pull with merge-options.txt (think
rebasing)
* Patch 9: Fix multiple heads handling too

pull: abort if --ff-only is given and fast-forwarding is impossible
Elijah Newren (8):
t7601: add relative precedence tests for merge and rebase
flags/options
