Hello!
Suppose following git history:
A–M–C
/
B
How to achieve this with commits metadata preserving?
A–M'–C'
/
B'
I did
git checkout B
git add something_not_in_other_commits
git commit --amend
So I have B'. How to continue, please? My git version is 1.7.1 (Centos 6.5).
Assuming you have a branch pointing to C and no uncommitted changes:
1) git checkout branch-that-points-to-c
2) git rev-parse branch-that-point-to-c
3) git reset --hard A
4) git merge B'
This creates a new merge comit (M').
5) git cherry-pick sha1-that-was-the-output-of-step-2
This does nothing: "Finished one cherry-pick. nothing to commit (working directory
clean)"
Thank you, but how to preserve date, message author of the original merge
commit (M)
to the new one (M'), please?

HG
