Subject: rebase planning:  determining blobs changed by multiple branches
Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2011 18:41:44 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <iiq3kb$aiv$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)

We have 15 branches that are unmerged, but are based on the same published 
history.  They branched off at different points in the history.  Each branch 
is comprised of a single squashed commit (except for master).  How can I 
compare all 15 branches with the tip of master to see which file merges 
(blobs) they have in common?

The goal is to create a sane plan for rebasing.  If the question is insane 
as it is stated, then please advise on any sane ways to approach this 
besides just rebasing one-by-one and making the last poor branch wait till 
the end to rebase with a ton of conflicts.  I'm dealing with users who 
refuse to do frequent rebases, so a plan the minimizes rebases while getting 
the most out of each rebase is desired, if practical.

v/r,
Neal
