Subject: [PATCH v7 0/4] branch: let --delete-merged find squash merged branches
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 13:24:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2425.v7.git.git.1794662670.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2425.git.git.1790667030497.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Branches merged on GitHub with "Squash and merge" or "Rebase and merge" are
never deleted by git branch --delete-merged, because their tips are not
reachable from the upstream. This treats such a branch as merged when some
upstream commit contains all of its changes, and names that commit in the
output:
Deleted branch topic (was 1a2b3c4, landed as 9f8e7d6).
Changes in v7:
* Added a test that --delete-integrated keeps a branch whose changes did
not land.
* Read the index once before the walk in find_landed_commits(), instead of
for every file merge at every candidate commit.
* The commit message now says the merge uses this repository's attributes
from the working tree and the index.
Changes in v6:
* Read the index before the file merge, so .gitattributes that are only in
the index are honored too.
* Renamed the diff_options variables from opt to diffopt.
Changes in v5:
* git branch -h lists --delete-integrated in the usage lines
* Giving both --delete-merged and --delete-integrated dies with a short
"cannot be used together" message instead of the full usage text
Changes in v4:
* --delete-merged works as it does on master again: it only deletes
branches whose tip is reachable from their upstream
* New --delete-integrated <pattern> also deletes branches that were rebase
or squash merged, including those squashed after upstream changed the
same files. It replaces --squashed
* New prep commit lets delete_branches() take a map of where each branch
landed, so "landed as" is printed there
* Added Junio's test that --delete-merged keeps a branch when an unrelated
upstream commit adds an identical file
* --dry-run works with either option, and the two options can't be combined
Changes in v3:
* Split into multiple commits, one for rebase merges and one for squash
merges.
* By default a branch counts as merged when an upstream commit has its
exact version of every file it changed. This never reads file contents,
so it stays cheap in a partial clone. It finds rebase merges, and squash
merges where upstream left those files alone.
* Replace --no-squashed with an opt-in --squashed, which also finds
branches merged after upstream changed the same files by merging those
files.
* Add a test for a rebase merge, and check that a squash onto changed files
is kept without --squashed and deleted with it.
Changes in v2:
* Diff each upstream commit once and share the result between all branches,
faster than v1.
* Fix a branch merged with a merge commit being reported as "landed as" the
merge when another branch was searched first, and add a test for it. Show
the topic commit itself in "landed as" for work that arrived through a
merge.
* Use git merge --squash as the example in the commit message and mention
GitHub's squash and rebase buttons.
* Add --no-squashed to skip the squash search.
Harald Nordgren (4):
branch: move the deleteMerged opt-out check into a helper
branch: let delete_branches() name where a branch landed
branch: add --delete-integrated to delete rebase and squash merged
branches
branch: let --delete-integrated find branches merged onto changed
files

@@ Commit message
unchanged. This has to read the files, so in a partial clone it may
download blobs.
+ The merge uses the attributes of this repository, from the working tree
+ and the index, the same as a merge run here would. A merge driver that
+ only the upstream repository has is not seen. In a bare repository only
+ info/attributes and the global file apply.
