Subject: How to split a big commit
Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2011 18:52:45 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTikFXzut7fY5Tr0u-abu5Q0rMUOCmA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
After a lot of small commits and a few mixed up large commits, it was
too messy that I merged them all into one big commit then started
spliting it into smaller, reasonable patches. Just wonder if anybody
else faces the same thing and how they deal with it. I used "git reset
--soft <big commit>^" and "git add -N" because there were new files,
but it was clumsy.
