Re: [git-users] Re: HELP! "stash pop" is failing and I can't get my work out

2013-05-09 Thread Joe Cabezas
actually what are you trying to do?, the subject says something with stash,
and then you talk about merging... seems like i do not undertand the
problem at all...

maybe when you do a stash pop, you have conflicts?, if so

that is a common problem

when you make a stash, actually records in what commit you did that stash,
this guarantees that making pop it that commit wont fail into conflicts...

conflicts happens when you stash, make changes, commit, (pull, etc), and
then you try to stash pop... that can fail for obvious reasons... code
incompatibility etc...

the solution is to checkout to the commit where the stash was created
(using checkout, git reset --hard, or using gitk --all), and then create a
new branch from there

once you have this new branch, you can safely make a stash pop because in
that commit was created..

then you return back to your previous branch and do a merge if needed
git merge master temporalbranch

Afortunately, git provides a single command to do this, if you read the
manual (git help stash) it says...

--
branch  []
   Creates and checks out a new branch named  starting
from the commit at which the  was originally created, applies the
   changes recorded in  to the new working tree and index.
If that succeeds, and  is a reference of the form
   stash@{}, it then drops the . When no 
is given, applies the latest one.

   This is useful if the branch on which you ran git stash save has
changed enough that git stash apply fails due to conflicts. Since the
   stash is applied on top of the commit that was HEAD at the time
git stash was run, it restores the originally stashed state with no
   conflicts.
--

so, anytime you cam make: git stash branch temporalbranch

and then simply... git merge temporalbranch

hope this helps

bye!

-Joe

You'll need to adjust your workflow a little bit. Git has a different
philosophy from Subversion, you need to adapt mentally. It's not a great
hardship.

Do your local work and commit it. Don't leave any files out of the
commit(s) if you need them. Commit everything you can.

Then, do a git pull. If this causes a merge conflict, you can solve it
like any other merge conflict, in a sane way.

No need to stash your changes.

Yawar

Thanks for the article. I learned about stash options, which I had overlooked.

Regarding the fallback, it might be this: when running noscript with
javascript blocked, after clicking the link I see a unstyled page of
the links listed below. The second one from the top is the one you
mention. If I click on it, I see the blog content just fine. But
there's nothing there to guide the user that this is the thing to do,
the useful link is lost among all the other who-knows-what-they-are
choices.

Inexplicable obsessiveness with JavaScript of this platform is also my
pet hate for it, but I used Safari on an Apple product -- where it's
hard (if possible) to turn JS off -- to navigate that link, so
supposedly this wasn't a problem with JS in my case.

Oh, thanks for reporting. I though blogger had some fallback for browsers 
with disabled JavaScript. I've asked them about the feature just now, but 
will probably take time before they develop it.

Another workaround (for all Blogger blogs with dynamic view) is to append 
"?m=1" to see the mobile version of the post:

I also could not see the link content until I permitted javascript from
  tfnico.com
  blogger.com
  blogblog.com
  google.com
  googleapis.com

After that, the link works.

Thanks for sharing -- this was an interesting read.

Unfortunately, the link itself leads to nowhere (actually, I just see
