[git-users] Undoable reset hard

2014-03-15 Thread Johannes Müller
Hi,

I tried thinking of a way to prevent accidental deletion by git reset
--hard command, as I recently faced such a problem. How can you write a
wrapper replacing the command, so that it first does something like the
following? It should create a new branch backup with all changes before
resetting.

current_branch = git command
git checkout -b backup_`date`
git add -A && git commit -m "backup before git reset --hard"
git checkout $current_branch
actual git reset --hard command

Thx,
Johannes

To me, the "--hard" is a good indicator of a destructive reset.

However the question should be more about why one ends up using a 
destructive reset when one either hasn't fully thought through the 
options, or perhaps should have used a softer option (and what would it 
be).


So the rehetorical question is should it be an alternate option, and how 
would it work, to counter the problems of the destructive reset and 
trying to protect ourselves from ourselves - Is it a catch 22 problem?


Perhaps there needs to be an extra git env variable 
(GIT_RESET_HARD_HEAD) that holds the sha1 of a faked 'commit -A' just 
before the 'reset --hard' is performed. This would avoid leaving lots of 
dummy/waste branches around. The variable name can be modelled on the 
various other FETCH_HEAD MERGE_HEAD and various others).


So have a think about broader options...

Philip

[git-users] git send-email missing dependency?

2014-03-15 Thread Unsigned Zero
Hello everyone, I've tried to use git send-email to send my patch but it 
seems that there is a missing perl dependency? Anyway I've attached my 
patch and send it via gmail.
