Stephen HabermanIf a user is working on master, and has merged in their feature branch, but now has to "git pull" because master moved, with pull.rebase their feature branch will be flattened into master.
This is because "git pull" currently does not know about rebase's preserve merges flag, which would avoid this behavior, as it would instead replay just the merge commit of the feature branch onto the new master, and not replay each individual commit in the feature branch.
Add a --rebase=preserve option, which will pass along --preserve-merges to rebase.
Also add 'preserve' to the allowed values for the pull.rebase config setting.
Signed-off-by: Stephen Haberman <stephen@exigencecorp.com> --- Hi,
This is v3 of my previous pull.rebase=preserve patch, previously discussed here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/232061 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/231909
In this version, I addressed all of Eric's excellent feedback.
I believe the patch is much better now, but would still appreciate more detailed feedback. In particular, I kind of made up how to handle and invalid "--rebase=invalid" value, and the resulting error message.
Also, I changed git-pull's usage to include the -r parameter...not sure if that's okay or not. Let me know if not.
Thanks!
