Subject: pitfall with empty commits during git rebase
Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2014 12:15:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140711101547.GA26050@aepfle.de> (raw)
There is an incorrect message when doing "git rebase -i remote/branch".
I have it only in german, see below. what happend is:
#01 make changes on another host
#02 copy patchfile to localhost
#03 apply patchfile
#04 git commit -avs # create commit#1
#05 sleep 123456
#06 make different changes on another host
#07 copy patchfile to localhost
#08 git show | patch -Rp1
#09 git commit -avs # create commit#2
#10 apply patchfile
#11 git commit -avs # create commit#3
#12 git rebase -i remote/branch
pick commit#1 msg
f commit#2 msg
f commit#3 msg
....
".git/rebase-merge/git-rebase-todo" 21L, 707C geschrieben
Sie fragten den jüngsten Commit nachzubessern, aber das würde diesen leer
machen. Sie können Ihr Kommando mit --allow-empty wiederholen, oder diesen
Commit mit "git reset HEAD^" vollständig entfernen.
Rebase im Gange; auf c105589
Sie sind gerade beim Rebase von Branch 'mybranch' auf 'c105589'.
Keine Änderungen
Could not apply 6c5842320acc797d395afb5cdf373c2bfaebfa34... revert
....
Its not clear what '--allow-empty' refers to, git rebase does not seem to
understand this option.
I should have skipped step #09 to avoid the trouble.
git version is 2.0.1. Please adjust the error msg above.
Olaf
