Shouldn't notes be copied to the new commit during an ammend/rebase? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJVJXY7AAoJENRVrw2cjl5RUe8IAI0tGUeBUAef4xIIU/UfV5eQ VAdkUfYXCHnkjqukS/iBusyNM3PssabHmRFc+AdKGPPmbsv9JGKpj5G9hwf6Bdh+ RNDPMTlt/Ii90eu+v3uXwFHNUNf0b6kv7Tw63L0bFxGsFzu55DBm48LT/DJ9T05x Yqz5hbisKAhiVfAep2ib32f8gvC6p47CBmKVY4ii/PpOIzX/clZOQEgSPxvuHcSR cVcMGdljG+n8UqEOkkX5im0cW7pOUUht5GXWRGnBjXjtKTG64zxZnBPsPcqVJtxT q/lloKerUktJH3bJbUDU6iefBBzukQyy6tF37nbZH68bwTBlrh8CGL1BT2Eviqs= =WyFy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ``` ## Johan Herland, 2015-04-08 22:56 Subject: Re: Notes do not follow rebase Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CALKQrgcvofZJNq5yQV0sohfEpVG-S%3DQ_26mp%3DvFKryrmiY9HWw%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <5525763B.3020300@ubuntu.com> ``` On Wed, Apr 8, 2015 at 8:40 PM, Phillip Susi wrote: > After doing a rebase -i to fix up some older commits, I noticed that > notes I had associated with commits failed to follow the commit across > the rebase, so the notes are now orphaned and will be pruned. > Shouldn't notes be copied to the new commit during an ammend/rebase? It depends. Which notes do you want copied? (i.e. from which notes ref?) Please have a look at the notes.rewriteRef config option (documented in the git-config and git-notes manual pages) ...Johan -- Johan Herland, www.herland.net ```
