[RFC] checkout --rebase
Hi, I'm often work on small topic branches, and find myself doing this quite often: # on branch master $ git checkout um-build $ git rebase master This is horribly inefficient; the first operation takes a _really_ long time to complete, since master updates itself very often and I have to check out an old worktree. So, I work around this issue by doing: # on branch master $ git checkout -b um-build-2 $ git cherry-pick ..um-build $ git branch -M um-build ... and I scripted it. Perhaps we should get this functionality in core, as `git checkout --rebase` (or something)? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Hm, I'm not entirely sure how to optimize the codepath to eliminate the checkout. It seems to be absolutely necessary atleast in the -i codepath. Let's inspect when $switch_to is set: # Is it rebase other $branchname or rebase other $commit? branch_name=$1 switch_to=$1 $revisions seems to be set correctly, and rebase--am does a move_to_original_branch as the last step. So, I wonder if this will work: diff --git a/git-rebase.sh b/git-rebase.sh index 0039ecf..7405d9a 100755 --- a/git-rebase.sh +++ b/git-rebase.sh @@ -542,9 +542,15 @@ then if test -z $force_rebase then # Lazily switch to the target branch if needed... - test -z $switch_to || - GIT_REFLOG_ACTION=$GIT_REFLOG_ACTION: checkout $switch_to \ - git checkout $switch_to -- + if ! test -z $switch_to; then + if $type = am; then + GIT_REFLOG_ACTION=$GIT_REFLOG_ACTION: checkout -b $switch_to-2 \ + git checkout -b $switch_to-2 -- + else + GIT_REFLOG_ACTION=$GIT_REFLOG_ACTION: checkout $switch_to \ + git checkout $switch_to -- + fi + fi say $(eval_gettext Current branch \$branch_name is up to date.) finish_rebase exit 0 (ofcourse, we still need a mechanism to remove this temporary $switch_to-2 branch) What about rebase--merge? Can we eliminate the checkout then? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I think it suffices to check that $branch_name equals HEAD, for this optimization. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
Re: [RFC] checkout --rebase
Damn it: checkout doesn't get executed at all because the $mb = $onto condition fails; I was looking in the wrong place. It's format-patch and am that are slowing things down terribly. Has anyone looked into stripping out the dependency? Why is cherry-pick deficient? My current workaround is to use the faster `--keep-empty` codepath, but it doesn't persist state on conflict. Isn't this an undocumented fact (aka. bug)?
