It looks like this tool will do "Proactive Merge Conflicts Detection": http://commitq.com/ But it's true that it would be nice if there was something in git itself.

Re: RFC: Very useful script to SVG graph the git commits from a file orientated view
looking a little bit more into this, I was very suprised there seems to be little/no tools in the git ecosystem that studies the dependencies between commits based on the file they modified and/or the conflict they would cause. Is there any pre-existing tool to do that ? It can be done with git-log --name-only(the graph_git.pl is just a graphing layer above that command) but i'm suprised that I couldn't find anything else And that was at the file level, is there any tool to help find what commits can be reordered without causing conflicts ? I am not sure if there is an easy way to extract potential conflict information from git...

Re: RFC: Very useful script to SVG graph the git commits from a file orientated view
so, I started using it this WE for my big rebase I had aproximately 130 non-merge commits in my branch, a feature branch in which I had regularly merged master, but I needed to rebase everything and then reorganise most commits to make the whole thing reviewable * merge bug-fix with the commit that introduced the bug * change sloppy commit messages * separate sloppy commit into multiple commits I did my initial rebase and I am now doing repetitive "git rebase -i" to get everything going your script is very usefull to me because it allows me to easily see the overall layout of things and figure what commit are "suspect" (touching files from different areas that have no reasons to be touched at the same time) it also allows me to easily find commits that are highly connected to other ones and are the most likely to be problematic when reordering commits. Overall that script is awesome. couple of ideas to refine things * The tooltips are very handy, but it would be nice if the tooltip would activate on the whole commit ellipsis, not just the text inside the ellipsis * I would love to have tooltips on the arrows too. when trying to follow what arrow is what file it makes things really handi It would be nice if there were a way to filter only some files in the output... there probably is with the git-log like syntax but i'm not a master of that... hints would be welcome is there a public repo for this script so I can point other people to it ?

Opps, somehow I forgot to actually attach it. It's now attached graph_git.pl Description: Binary data
Re: RFC: Very useful script to SVG graph the git commits from a file orientated view
very usefull indeed, where can I find it ? I have a big rebase/merge/reorganise work that is comming soon and that is going to be tremendously usefull...
