X-Git-Tag: v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~7
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=21b14778a9b033d80b3e5757d9576da13ba446cd;p=git.git

revert: Make pick_commits functionally act on a commit list

Apart from its central objective of calling into the picking
mechanism, pick_commits creates a sequencer directory, prepares a todo
list, and even acts upon the "--reset" subcommand.  This makes for a
bad API since the central worry of callers is to figure out whether or
not any conflicts were encountered during the cherry picking.  The
current API is like:

  if (pick_commits(opts) < 0)
     print "Something failed, we're not sure what"

So, change pick_commits so that it's only responsible for picking
commits in a loop and reporting any errors, leaving the rest to a new
function called pick_revisions.  Consequently, the API of pick_commits
becomes much clearer:

  act_on_subcommand(opts->subcommand);
  todo_list = prepare_todo_list();
  if (pick_commits(todo_list, opts) < 0)
     print "Error encountered while picking commits"

Now, callers can easily call-in to the cherry-picking machinery by
constructing an arbitrary todo list along with some options.
