Subject: [PATCH 1/3] t6600: test --maximal-only and --independent
Date: Mon, 06 Apr 2026 13:27:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <176d1606c824f58443d085c6f5a02ab17a16ca1c.1775482048.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2082.git.1775482048.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com>
Add a test that verifies the 'git rev-list --maximal-only' option
produces the same set of commits as 'git merge-base --independent'. This
equivalence was noted when the feature was first created, but we are
about to update the implementation to use a common algorithm in this
case where the user intention is identical.
