After trying out various forms of --abort, I've decided to drop all UI and just write "infrastructure code" for the moment, and letting end users decide the shortcuts for themselves. Among the various suggestions, I especially liked Jonathan's --edit solution where the user gets a copy of the entire instruction sheet (not just commands left to execute) to edit as she pleases [1]. I've just started working on this. I might like to send a quick series based on my earlier series for inclusion, but I can't figure out a good subset: Everything until "revert: Catch incompatible command-line options early" might be a candidate for a simple revert-cleanup series, but most of the motivation for the cleanup comes from the sequencer needing it. Thanks for reading. -- Ram [1]: http://mid.gmane.org/20110611112213.GA25268@elie ``` ## Jonathan Nieder, 2011-06-14 05:31 Subject: Re: [GSoC update] Sequencer: Debating the UI Message-ID: <20110614053143.GA24882@elie> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20110614053143.GA24882%40elie In-Reply-To: ``` Ramkumar Ramachandra wrote: > I might like > to send a quick series based on my earlier series for inclusion, but I > can't figure out a good subset: I would love to use a working "cherry-pick --continue". :) I would use it like this: $ : grumble, grumble, source package format that requires a $ : tarball followed by a linear sequence of patches $ git checkout -b release+patches v1.0 $ git cherry-pick --no-merges -x -s HEAD..origin/master ... ticks away for a while, then presents a conflict $ git diff; fix fix fix; git add -u; make test; git commit -v $ git cherry-pick --continue ... $ git diff origin/master; # matches up? good. $ git format-patch -k --patience -o patches v1.0..HEAD Speaking of which, do you have a git tree that testers should use / send patches against? E.g., is the "sequencer" branch at git://github.com/artagnon/git.git the one to play with? Thanks; exciting times.

Yeah, you can work on "cherry-pick --skip" too. If you have --continue and --skip working, maybe it will be worth merging as is. Thanks, Christian. ``` ## Ramkumar Ramachandra, 2011-06-20 15:51 Subject: Re: [GSoC update] Sequencer: Debating the UI Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/BANLkTi%3DnBAX6KSFCYOGa9L-x%3Da8wCX_P3g%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Hi, Ramkumar Ramachandra wrote: > Jonathan Nieder writes: >> I would love to use a working "cherry-pick --continue". :)  I would >> use it like this: > > Great.  I hope to have a mockup of this ready in a couple of days or so. Gah, it took much longer than expected. My latest work is in the 'sequencer-continue' branch on my GitHub. It's almost there; will send to list after polishing it for a few hours in the morning. Thanks. -- Ram ``` ## Christian Couder, 2011-06-21 06:21 Subject: Re: [GSoC update] Sequencer: Debating the UI Message-ID: <201106210821.17954.chriscool@tuxfamily.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/201106210821.17954.chriscool%40tuxfamily.org In-Reply-To: ``` Hi Ram, On Monday 20 June 2011 17:51:23 Ramkumar Ramachandra wrote: > Hi, > > Ramkumar Ramachandra wrote: > > Jonathan Nieder writes: > >> I would love to use a working "cherry-pick --continue". :) I would > > > >> use it like this: > > Great.
