Re: [PATCH RFC] git-remote-mediawiki: push-by-rev

The function says:

  sub get_last_global_remote_rev {

So I don't think this would work when you track only a subset of pages. If an untracked page has been modified, then the global last revision has increased and you'll get a non-fast forward. If you try to pull, it'll tell you there's nothing to import.

You'd have to iterate through revisions between the one given by get_last_global_remote_rev and the last one the local repo knows about, and remove ones touching untracked pages from the list.

See what t/t9364-pull-by-rev.sh does. You can set pushStrategy too in the same file (this won't test all push/pull combinations, but push and pull should be independant enough, so testing both unset and both set should be enough).

Not sure we have enough test for push with a subset of pages though.
