Subject: b4 doesn't notice updated base-commit
Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2022 10:30:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Yl2gMy2Fgpe0TUZ5@google.com> (raw)

Hi, just noticed this minor bug in b4 v0.8.0: when fetching the latest
version of a series, b4 seems to always advise that the base-commit is
whatever was advertised in the first cover letter, even if the
base-commit changes for later versions of the series. An example (from
the Git list):

```
$ b4 am -o - pull.1161.v4.git.1647843442911.gitgitgadget@gmail.com | git am
Looking up https://lore.kernel.org/r/pull.1161.v4.git.1647843442911.gitgitgadget%40gmail.com
[...]
 Base: dab1b7905d0b295f1acef9785bb2b9cbb0fdec84
       git checkout -b v4_20220228_gitgitgadget_gmail_com dab1b7905d0b295f1acef9785bb2b9cbb0fdec84
```

However, v4 of that series doesn't apply cleanly on dab1b79, and if we
check the actual v4 message we see that it has a new base-commit of
74cc1aa55f30ed76424a0e7226ab519aa6265061.


Thanks,
Josh
