Hello, i use Git Bash and check in very frequently. it appears there is a range from "extreme often" to "extreme very seldom". Examples: {me, extreme often, Windows} very granular, with a brief yet appropriate comment [like narrating a story] per commit-i change a few lines of code, Alt+Tab

if YOU use a Windows GUI for Git, i would appreciate knowing which one and why

[Feature request] Add config option to gpgsign IFF key is present

2018-03-10 Thread NELSON, JOSHUA Y
Currently, `commit.gpgsign` allows you to give either 'true' or 'false' as a value. If the key is not present, commits will fail: ```sh $ git commit -m "example" error: gpg failed to sign the data fatal: failed to write commit object ``` I like to reuse my config file across several machines,

[PATCH 1/4] teach log --no-walk=unsorted, which avoids sorting

2012-08-13 Thread y
From: Martin von Zweigbergk martin.von.zweigbe...@gmail.com When 'git log' is passed the --no-walk option, no revision walk takes place, naturally. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, however, the provided revisions still get sorted by commit date. So e.g 'git log --no-walk HEAD HEAD~1' and 'git log

From: Martin von Zweigbergk martin.von.zweigbe...@gmail.com 'git cherry-pick A B' implicitly sends --no-walk=sorted to the revision walker, which means that the older of A and B will be applied first, which is most likely surprising to most. Fix this by instead sending --no-walk=unsorted to the
