Hi,
It looks that I encountered a badly-handled corner case for
`star-merge'. But I may as well have simply missed something, so I'd
welcome help.
I'm trying to star-merge my branch with a branch that selectively
replayed _non-contiguous_ patches from my branch:
$ tla merges HIS-BRANCH MY-BRANCH
patch-19 patch-4
patch-19 patch-5
patch-20 patch-1
patch-20 patch-2
patch-21 patch-8
patch-22 patch-9
Now if I run `tla star-merge HIS-BRANCH', changes that I made in
MY-BRANCH--patch-7 (which hasn't been merge in HIS-BRANCH) are simply
undoed:
$ tla star-merge HIS-BRANCH
* star-merge by delta(MY-BRANCH--patch-9,HIS-BRANCH--patch-22)[/home/...]
[...]
D {arch}/.../MY-BRANCH/MY-ARCHIVE/patch-log/patch-7
[...]
Apparently, `star-merge' saw that MY-BRANCH--patch-9 was merged into
HIS-BRANCH and made the wrong assumption that _all_ patches prior to
MY-BRANCH--patch-9 had been merged into HIS-BRANCH.
Is this analysis correct?
If it is, is there a way to get around this beside selective replays?
Even better: could `star-merge' be fixed to handle such cases?
Thanks,
Ludovic.
