[PATCH v3 1/3] sequencer: comment checked-out branch properly

From
Kkristofferhaugsbakk@fastmail.com <kristofferhaugsbakk@fastmail.com>
Date
Nov 24, 2024, 20:56 UTC
Message-ID
<a46767263f6e0f032ed7eb2af2e5f1620f14dfbf.1732481200.git.code@khaugsbakk.name>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1732481200.git.code@khaugsbakk.name>
From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>

`git rebase --update-ref` does not insert commands for dependent/sub- branches which are checked out.[1] Instead it leaves a comment about that fact. The comment char is hardcoded (#). In turn the comment line gets interpreted as an invalid command when `core.commentChar`/ `core.commentString` is in use.

† 1: See 900b50c242 (rebase: add --update-refs option, 2022-07-19)

Notes (series):
    v3:
    • Review feedback: check more in the test by inspecting the
      sequence editor
    
      Link: https://lore.kernel.org/git/5ed77fab-678d-4a06-bbd0-ea25462a7562@gmail.com/
    • Message: consistency with the other two messages:
      • Mention both commentChar and commentString
      • Commit footnote style: See <commit>
    v2:
    • Message: “hardcoded” (more common according to `git grep`)
