This sample hook safeguards topic branches that have been
77
published from being rewound.
79
The workflow assumed here is:
81
* Once a topic branch forks from "master", "master" is never
82
merged into it again (either directly or indirectly).
84
* Once a topic branch is fully cooked and merged into "master",
85
it is deleted. If you need to build on top of it to correct
86
earlier mistakes, a new topic branch is created by forking at
87
the tip of the "master". This is not strictly necessary, but
88
it makes it easier to keep your history simple.
90
* Whenever you need to test or publish your changes to topic
91
branches, merge them into "next" branch.
93
The script, being an example, hardcodes the publish branch name
94
to be "next", but it is trivial to make it configurable via
95
$GIT_DIR/config mechanism.
97
With this workflow, you would want to know:
99
(1) ... if a topic branch has ever been merged to "next". Young
100
topic branches can have stupid mistakes you would rather
101
clean up before publishing, and things that have not been
102
merged into other branches can be easily rebased without
103
affecting other people. But once it is published, you would
104
not want to rewind it.
106
(2) ... if a topic branch has been fully merged to "master".
107
Then you can delete it. More importantly, you should not
108
build on top of it -- other people may already want to
109
change things related to the topic as patches against your
110
"master", so if you need further changes, it is better to
111
fork the topic (perhaps with the same name) afresh from the
114
Let's look at this example:
116
o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o "next"
120
/ / c---c---c---c B /
124
---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o "master"
127
A, B and C are topic branches.
129
* A has one fix since it was merged up to "next".
131
* B has finished. It has been fully merged up to "master" and "next",
132
and is ready to be deleted.
134
* C has not merged to "next" at all.
136
We would want to allow C to be rebased, refuse A, and encourage
141
git-rev-list ^master ^topic next
142
git-rev-list ^master next
144
if these match, topic has not merged in next at all.
148
git-rev-list master..topic
150
if this is empty, it is fully merged to "master".
