From: Patrick Steinhardt Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 12:44:33 GMT Subject: [PATCH 0/4] builtin/history: some smaller UI improvements Message-ID: <20260212-b4-pks-history-dry-run-v1-0-1ce03d631c1b@pks.im> Hi, this patch series contains a small set of UI improvements for git-history(1): - The first two commits adapt git-history(1) so that it performs verifications before asking the user for input. - The last two commits rework the "--ref-action=" option to instead be split up into "--dry-run" and "--update-refs=" so that the option is less focussed on technical implementation details. I decided to send this patch series as a small incremental step before sending `git history split`, also because that series conflicts with aa/add-p-no-auto-advance. Thanks!
