[PATCH 0/3] rebase: offer to reschedule failed exec commands automatically

The idea was brought up by Paul Morelle.

To be honest, this idea of rescheduling a failed exec makes so much sense that I wish we had done this from the get-go.

So let's do the next best thing: implement a command-line option and a config setting to make it so.

The obvious intent behind that config setting is to not only give users a way to opt into that behavior already, but also to make it possible to flip the default at a later date, after the feature has been battle-tested and after deprecating the non-rescheduling behavior for a couple of Git versions.

If the team agrees with my reasoning, then the 3rd patch (introducing -y <cmd> as a shortcut for --reschedule-failed-exec -x <cmd>) might not make much sense, as it would introduce a short option that would become obsolete soon.

Johannes Schindelin (3):
  rebase: introduce --reschedule-failed-exec
  rebase: add a config option to default to --reschedule-failed-exec
  rebase: introduce a shortcut for --reschedule-failed-exec
