Subject: [GUILT][RFC] Autotagging
Message-ID: <11735019831915-git-send-email-jsipek@cs.sunysb.edu>

Greetings all!

Recently, it has been brought to my attention that it would be nice to be
able to refer to the top/bottom/base of the patch stack in Guilt by a name
instead of fishing around the log for the hash. I quickly coded up the
following solution (which I call "autotagging"), which creates unannotated
tags for the top (topmost applied patch), bottom (first applied patch), and
base (parent of bottom) in with this naming scheme:

	${branch}_top
	${branch}_bottom
	${branch}_base

The branch name is necessary as each branch has its own series of patches,
and potentially different history to begin with.

Of course, I included an option to disable this feature (see patch 2) - just
set guilt.autotag=0 in your git config.

Before I merge this into Guilt master, I was hoping for some feedback. Just
in case I completely missed something obvious, or perhaps there is a better
way to name the branches :)

Thanks,

Josef "Jeff" Sipek.
