Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] cleanup ra/rebase-i-more-options
Message-ID: <20200429102521.47995-1-phillip.wood123@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <20200407141125.30872-1-phillip.wood123@gmail.com>

From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

I've rebased Rohit's patches on master and reworked them with my
fixups from v1. I've renamed the test file that was causing a
problem (as you'll see I wasn't feeling very inspired when I came
up with the name) and changed some tests from using rebase -i to
rebase -m as suggested by Elijah. I've updated the last patch to
test both --reset-author and --ignore-author.

There's a range-diff below between ra/rebase-i-more-options and
these patches though I'm not sure how useful it is in practice.

Phillip Wood (2):
  rebase -i: support --committer-date-is-author-date
  rebase -i: support --ignore-date

Rohit Ashiwal (3):
  rebase -i: add --ignore-whitespace flag
  sequencer: rename amend_author to author_to_free
  rebase: add --reset-author-date

         rebase -i: add --ignore-whitespace flag
     
    -    There are two backends available for rebasing, viz, the am and the
    -    interactive. Naturally, there shall be some features that are
    -    implemented in one but not in the other. One such flag is
    -    --ignore-whitespace which indicates merge mechanism to treat lines
    -    with only whitespace changes as unchanged. Wire the interactive
    -    rebase to also understand the --ignore-whitespace flag by
    -    translating it to -Xignore-space-change.
    +    Rebase is implemented with two different backends - 'apply' and 'merge'
    +    each of which support a different set of options. In particuar the apply
    +    backend supports a number of options implemented by 'git am' that are
    +    not available to the merge backend. As part of an on going effort to
    +    remove the apply backend this patch adds support for the
    +    --ignore-whitespace option to the merge backend. This option treats
    +    lines with only whitespace changes as unchanged and is implemented in
    +    the merge backend by translating it to -Xignore-space-change.

         rebase -i: support --ignore-date
     
    -    rebase am already has this flag to "lie" about the author date
    -    by changing it to the committer (current) date. Let's add the same
    -    for interactive machinery.
    +    As part of the on-going effort to retire the apply rebase backend
    +    teach the merge backend how to handle --ignore-date. We take care to
    +    handle the combination of --ignore-date and
    +    --committer-date-is-author-date in the same way as the apply backend.
