I have argued that they should at least verify that there isn't a .git/rebase-merge directory present before doing that, but if I want to prevent a heart attack, it looks like I'm going to have to fix this one myself.  (Sorry for the rant!) $ git reset minor-rant-warning~1 So first I need to inquire if there is a current mechanism to say "git status, but please fail if you're busy with a non-atomic operation".  If there is not one, then it would seem that there should be and how do I go about requesting it? Thanks, Daniel ``` ## Jeff King, 2017-09-22 04:23 Subject: Re: KDevelop developers obviously don't use git :( Message-ID: <20170922042300.6g472aegvkxn2es2@sigill.intra.peff.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20170922042300.6g472aegvkxn2es2%40sigill.intra.peff.net In-Reply-To: <1469bc42-0a21-8cc4-f9bb-000c3737fe19@pobox.com> ``` On Thu, Sep 21, 2017 at 11:03:53PM -0500, Daniel Santos wrote: > So first I need to inquire if there is a current mechanism to say "git > status, but please fail if you're busy with a non-atomic operation".  If > there is not one, then it would seem that there should be and how do I > go about requesting it?

Reading this list sometimes makes me wonder if there is some higher intelligence telling independent souls to come up with the same wish at the same time. https://public-inbox.org/git/20170921050835.mrbgx2zryy3jusdk@sigill.intra.peff.net/ ``` ## Daniel Santos, 2017-09-22 04:57 Subject: Re: KDevelop developers obviously don't use git :( Message-ID: <4cc9d76c-e4bc-54a7-e62c-25e2659e6954@pobox.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4cc9d76c-e4bc-54a7-e62c-25e2659e6954%40pobox.com In-Reply-To: ``` On 09/21/2017 11:38 PM, Junio C Hamano wrote: > Daniel Santos writes: > >> So first I need to inquire if there is a current mechanism to say "git >> status, but please fail if you're busy with a non-atomic operation". > Reading this list sometimes makes me wonder if there is some higher > intelligence telling independent souls to come up with the same wish > at the same time. > > https://public-inbox.org/git/20170921050835.mrbgx2zryy3jusdk@sigill.intra.peff.net/ LMAO! This has been irritating me for some time, but I had to abort a somewhat complex interactive rebase earlier and it finally drove me to action.  I'm juggling so many projects right now that I really don't want to fix this myself, but..... grrr! and raaarh!, etc. Daniel ```
