Subject: [PATCH v4 2/4] branch: let delete_branches() name where a branch landed
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 08:33:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <592562d7e766a0fc40a5ed3c5924e64582fc5505.1793003627.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2425.v4.git.git.1793003627.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Harald Nordgren <haraldnordgren@gmail.com>
A later commit lets "git branch" delete branches whose commits are not
in their upstream but whose changes are, such as after a squash merge.
Their tips are not reachable from the upstream, so the merge check in
delete_branches() would refuse to delete them, and the output should
say where their changes went.
Let delete_branches() take a map from branch names to the upstream
commit where each branch landed. A branch in the map skips the merge
check and is reported as
Deleted branch topic (was 1a2b3c4, landed as 9f8e7d6).
No caller passes a map yet, so there is no change in behavior.
