[PATCH v5 10/10] rebase: provide better error message for apply options vs. merge config

From
Elijah Newren via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Jan 25, 2023, 04:03 UTC
Message-ID
<328f5a1d534dca2998785d1fad555e3645bc2c81.1674619434.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1466.v5.git.1674619434.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>

When config which selects the merge backend (currently, rebase.autosquash=true or rebase.updateRefs=true) conflicts with other options on the command line (such as --whitespace=fix), make the error message specifically call out the config option and specify how to override that config option on the command line.
