Subject: stg branch -r instructions
Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 13:14:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87d4ptczu8.fsf@lysator.liu.se> (raw)
It isn't easy to figure out how to rename a branch in stg from looking
at the help texts.
Usage: stg branch [options] branch-name [commit-id]
...
-r, --rename rename an existing development branch
So, how do I rename branch A to B?
Reading the source, it appears that you write
stg branch -r A B
so, the usage string is wrong. In fact, the described usage string is
only for the default action to create a new branch.
The optparse library doesn't really make it easy to describe these
kinds of options-as-subcommands, so I don't have a patch to fix it
right away. I'm not even sure how the result should look.
Maybe it would have been better to have separate stg subcommands?
stg branch NAME [COMMIT]
stg list-branches
stg rename-branch OLD NEW
... etc ...
