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
