Subject: stgit, rebasing with 100 patches
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2009 19:04:14 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9e4733910910011604w68cdca86l2baa2f2fe4db4a32@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I have 100 patches loaded into in stgit. My tree is at 2.6.30. Now I
want to rebase to 2.6.31-rc1. About 30 of these hundred patches got
committed in this interval.

If I rebase directly to 2.6.31-rc1 I end up with a bunch of merge
conflicts as the patches are applied. That's because patches 'a,b,c'
got applied in the merge window. When I push 'a' back down it sees the
combination of 'a,b,c' not just 'a'. It is unable to figure out that
'a' was applied and then 'b' and 'c' applied on top of it.

Is there a better way to locate the patches the got applied?
