Hello.

Is there a switch to have stgit prepend a numeric prefix to the patch name?

I'm trying to stg uncommit -n <large_number> from a repository, and due to the excellent log messages, half of the patches get called 'empty-log-message'.

I'm sure when I played with stg a while ago I found a switch to do that.

I'm probably wrong, though.

Cheers

Jamie

It automatically adds a suffix if a patch with the same name already exists, i.e. empty-log-message-0, -1, ..., -n. No extra switch is needed.

What StGIT version are you using?

0.11, which doesn't do that <g>.

Just changed to 0.12, which works great.

Many thanks, saved me hours and hours :-)
