Cover letter [PATCH/RFC 0/2] custom format for interactive rebase todo
I'm sorry if this shows up twice. I messed up the first time.
I was recently in a situation of rebasing a topic branch with many commits by several colleagues and I thought it would be useful if I could see the author of the commit in the commit table in the rebase todo file. I wanted try to squash commits by the same author where appropriate. With the help of Matt Boeh, we figured out how to patch in custom formatting of this line, and I have been trying it out for the last couple of weeks and it seems to work pretty well.
A couple of examples:
- git config sequence.format "%<(12,trunc)%ae %s"
- git config sequence.format "%s <%aN %aE>"
- git config sequence.format "%s%n%%n%b"
The first one tries to conserve linespace, which is a good idea for these formats. The second one could be really long but otherwise harmless. I'm unsure what would happen if I tried to rebase with the third style unedited or uncommented. I'm wary of casually testing it. It does not seem like a good idea, and should perhaps be discouraged.
Please let me know what you think.
