tg summary
~~~~~~~~~~
Show overview of all TopGit-tracked topic branches and their
- up-to-date status ('0' marks that it introduces no own changes,
+ up-to-date status ('>' marks the current topic branch,
+ '0' marks that it introduces no own changes,
+ 'l'/'r' marks that it is local-only or has remote mate,
+ 'L'/'R' marks that it is ahead/out-of-date wrt. its remote mate,
'D' marks that it is out-of-date wrt. its dependencies,
'!' marks that it has missing dependencies (even recursively),
'B' marks that it is out-of-date wrt. its base).
TODO: For quilt exporting, use a temporary branch and remove it when
done - this would allow producing conflict-less series
+tg import
+~~~~~~~~~
+ Import commits within the given revision range into TopGit,
+ creating one topic branch per commit, the dependencies forming
+ a linear sequence starting on your current branch.
+
+ The branch names are auto-guessed from the commit messages
+ and prefixed by t/ by default; use '-p PREFIX' to specify
+ an alternative prefix (even an empty one).
+
tg update
~~~~~~~~~
Update the current topic branch wrt. changes in the branches
- it depends on. This is made in two phases - first,
+ it depends on and remote branches.
+ This is performed in two phases - first,
changes within the dependencies are merged to the base,
- then the base is merged into the topic branch. The output
- will guide you in case of conflicts.
+ then the base is merged into the topic branch.
+ The output will guide you in case of conflicts.
In case your dependencies are not up-to-date, tg update
will first recurse into them and update these.
remote branch and the result is merged to local branch - again, to carry over
remote conflict resolutions. In the future, this order might be adjustable
per-update in case local changes are diverging more than the remote ones.
+
+All commands by default refer to the remote that 'tg remote --populate'
+was called on the last time ('topgit.remote' configuration variable). You can
+manually run any command with a different base remote by passing '-r REMOTE'
+_before_ the subcommand name.
