As an exercise in writing throwaway scripts, I created this monstrosity.
If you're interested in merging all of the git-gui branches that came
from mainline back into git-gui's master, perhaps we could do something
like this:
#!/bin/sh
branches=
# note that all instances of "master" refer to git.git's "master"
# also, 5ab7227 is the latest commit in Pat's git-gui repo
for c in $(git rev-list --children master 5ab7227 | grep ^5ab7227 | cut
-d' ' -f2-)
do
merge_commit=$(git rev-list $c..master --ancestry-path --merges
| tail -n1)
branch_name=$(git show -s --format=%s $merge_commit | sed -e
"s/Merge branch '\\([^']*\\)' of .*/\\1/")
#echo $branch_name: $(git rev-parse $merge_commit^2)
git branch -f "$branch_name" $merge_commit^2
branches="$branches $branch_name"
done
# this also assumes git-gui's master is checked out
git merge $branches
This script should resurrect all of the branches that were based on
5ab7227 from mainline's master. Then (assuming you have git-gui's
master checked out), it should do a big octopus merge to bring all of
the changes in.
We end up with the following branches being merged:
js/msgfmt-on-windows: 492595cfc70f97cd99d4c460db1ba01b73dab932
tz/fsf-address-update: 63100874c1653dd6a137f74143eda322550eabc7

py/call-do-quit-before-exit: 5440eb0ea2651c45a0e46f2335ecbb8d1f42c584
Then perhaps you could do a request-pull and development could continue
on your fork?
Not sure if this is even desirable but here's the script just in case it
ends up useful. I had fun writing it.
Also note that we end up missing two commits that made changes to
git-gui/ under mainline git (not directly to the git-gui repo):
* 7560f547e6 (treewide: correct several "up-to-date" to "up to date",
2017-08-23)
* 00ddc9d13c (Fix build with core.autocrlf=true, 2017-05-09)
Hope any of this is useful to anyone,
Denton
