Bug 48073 – [webkit-patch] Does not land from bug when used with fast git pull / svn rebase.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WONTFIX
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Pavel Feldman]

I modified my .git/config as suggested at http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/UsingGitWithWebKit

[svn-remote "svn"]
        url = http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit
        fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/origin/master

Now I can make "git pull && git svn rebase" in few seconds. However, webkit-patch land-from-bug gives me:

Now I do --force-clean, wait 15 minutes and get

There are 2600 local commits and working copy changes. Everything will be committed as a single commit. To avoid this prompt, set "git config webkit-patch.commit-should-always-squash true". [Y/n]: 
===============

It all worked fine when my config was
        fetch = trunk:refs/remotes/trunk

But svn rebase was really slow back then. I want both: fast rebase and webkit-patch please!

[Eric Seidel (no email)]

Yes.  I'd like us to make the fast-rebase path the standard webkit setup, so we should do everything possible to make it well supported in webkit-patch (including possibly adding a command for setting up such a checkout).
