I used it when new (refreshed) changes needed also changes in commit description (commit message). Now I have to run two commands: "stg refresh" and "stg edit". -- Jakub Narebski Poland ``` ## Catalin Marinas, 2007-12-14 14:26 Subject: Re: StGIT: "stg refresh -e/--edit" to refresh patch and edit description no longer works Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/b0943d9e0712140626w3a2f55b1i83c33f93d7f8af2f%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <200712141507.01552.jnareb@gmail.com> ``` On 14/12/2007, Jakub Narebski wrote: > The command I used quite often in my StGIT workflow, namely > "stg refresh -e", which used to refresh patch and launch editor to edit > commit (patch) description no longer works in Stacked GIT 0.14.1. > > I used it when new (refreshed) changes needed also changes in commit > description (commit message).

It's not difficult to move the editing functionality out of stgit.commands.edit and re-add the --edit option to refresh (while also keeping the separate edit command). I'm a bit busy with home/family commitments until the new year. -- Catalin ``` ## Jakub Narebski, 2007-12-14 16:01 Subject: Re: StGIT: "stg refresh -e/--edit" to refresh patch and edit description no longer works Message-ID: <200712141701.43914.jnareb@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/200712141701.43914.jnareb%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Fri, 14 Dec 2007, Catalin Marinas wrote: > On 14/12/2007, Jakub Narebski wrote: >> >> The command I used quite often in my StGIT workflow, namely >> "stg refresh -e", which used to refresh patch and launch editor to edit >> commit (patch) description no longer works in Stacked GIT 0.14.1. >> >> I used it when new (refreshed) changes needed also changes in commit >> description (commit message).

First, the "misleading" part could be corrected by renaming long option to --edit-description or --edit-message. Second "stg refresh -e" matches non-StGIT usage of "git commit --amend"; and it is damn useful to have it as one command, not two. > I'm a bit busy with home/family commitments until the new year. I'll wait. As I am not running StGIT master, but released version, I would have to waith nevertheless on next release. TIA -- Jakub Narebski Poland ```
