[PATCH v6 09/10] replace: check mergetags when using --graft

From
Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org>
Date

Message-ID

When using --graft, with a mergetag in the original commit, we should check that the commit pointed to by the mergetag is still a parent of then new commit we create, otherwise the mergetag could be misleading.

If the commit pointed to by the mergetag is no more a parent of the new commit, we could remove the mergetag, but in this case there is a good chance that the title or other elements of the commit might also be misleading. So let's just error out and suggest to use --edit instead on the commit.
