Josh Steadmon	d3115660b4	branch: add flags and config to inherit tracking It can be helpful when creating a new branch to use the existing tracking configuration from the branch point. However, there is currently not a method to automatically do so. Teach git-{branch,checkout,switch} an "inherit" argument to the "--track" option. When this is set, creating a new branch will cause the tracking configuration to default to the configuration of the branch point, if set. For example, if branch "main" tracks "origin/main", and we run `git checkout --track=inherit -b feature main`, then branch "feature" will track "origin/main". Thus, `git status` will show us how far ahead/behind we are from origin, and `git pull` will pull from origin. This is particularly useful when creating branches across many submodules, such as with `git submodule foreach ...` (or if running with a patch such as [1], which we use at $job), as it avoids having to manually set tracking info for each submodule. Since we've added an argument to "--track", also add "--track=direct" as another way to explicitly get the original "--track" behavior ("--track" without an argument still works as well). Finally, teach branch.autoSetupMerge a new "inherit" option. When this is set, "--track=inherit" becomes the default behavior.

Johannes Schindelin	52f1e82178	pull: remove support for `--rebase=preserve` In preparation for `git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh` entering its after life, we remove this (deprecated) option that would still rely on it. To help users transition who still did not receive the memo about the deprecation, we offer a helpful error message instead of throwing our hands in the air and saying that we don't know that option, never heard of it.

Bert Wesarg	88f8576eda	pull --rebase/remote rename: document and honor single-letter abbreviations rebase types When `46af44b07d` (pull --rebase=<type>: allow single-letter abbreviations for the type, 2018-08-04) landed in Git, it had the side effect that not only 'pull --rebase=<type>' accepted the single-letter abbreviations but also the 'pull.rebase' and 'branch.<name>.rebase' configurations. However, 'git remote rename' did not honor these single-letter abbreviations when reading the 'branch..rebase' configurations. We now document the single-letter abbreviations and both code places share a common function to parse the values of 'git pull --rebase=', 'pull.rebase', and 'branches.*.rebase'. The only functional change is the handling of the `branch_info::rebase` value. Before it was an unsigned enum, thus the truth value could be checked with `branch_info::rebase != 0`. But `enum rebase_type` is signed, thus the truth value must now be checked with `branch_info::rebase >= REBASE_TRUE` Signed-off-by: Bert Wesarg <bert.wesarg@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	5 years ago
Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy	d787d311db	checkout: split part of it to new command 'switch' "git checkout" doing too many things is a source of confusion for many users (and it even bites old timers sometimes). To remedy that, the command will be split into two new ones: switch and restore. The good old "git checkout" command is still here and will be until all (or most of users) are sick of it. See the new man page for the final design of switch. The actual implementation though is still pretty much the same as "git checkout" and not completely aligned with the man page. Following patches will adjust their behavior to match the man page. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	6 years ago
Johannes Schindelin	427c3bd28a	rebase: deprecate --preserve-merges We have something much better now: --rebase-merges (which is a complete re-design --preserve-merges, with a lot of issues fixed such as the inability to reorder commits with --preserve-merges).
