Subject: [PATCH 1/3] contrib/subtree: capture additional test-cases
Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2026 14:18:45 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260215201906.889951-2-ask+git@howdoi.land> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260215201906.889951-1-ask+git@howdoi.land>
Patch series e7b07376e5 (Merge branch 'rs/subtree-fixes',
2018-10-26) corrects several defects in `git subtree split`.
The defects affect `split --rejoin` and merge commit processing.
There is no test coverage for this, and e7b07376e5 did not
introduce any.
Convert the minimum working example [1] from the original patch
submission [2] into test cases.
