Package: pristine-tar
Version: 0.5
Severity: minor
I'm wondering whether assuming that the user wants to “pristine-tar
commit” against the local upstream branch would be nice. Here is an
example:
---------- o< o< o< ----------
$ git-clone git://alioth.debian.org/~kibi-guest/pristine-tar-debug.git
# …
$ cd pristine-tar-debug
$ git-branch pristine-tar origin/pristine-tar
$ pristine-tar commit ../graphviz_2.16.orig.tar.gz
pristine-tar: more than one ref matches "upstream":
5d23788286712f7ceda4e46f66d8c60272c1f388 refs/heads/upstream
5d23788286712f7ceda4e46f66d8c60272c1f388 refs/remotes/origin/upstream
---------- >o >o >o ----------
BTW, it's possible to specify “origin/upstream” as second parameter, but
explicitely specifying “upstream”, which is the default, won't help. One
has to figure that git-show-ref is used, and that e.g. “heads/upstream”
should be used.
Maybe something like the following might do: keep the above message, and
then prompt the user with:
Assume local upstream branch? [Y/n]
or:
Assume local (refs/heads/upstream) upstream branch? [Y/n]
and if 'n' is pressed, tell the user to either use a (more) complete
branch name, a tag, or a treeish?
Cheers,
