Subject: cherry-pick/revert: add support for -X/--strategy-option
X-Git-Tag: ko-next~31^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=67ac1e1d57e45899a4dfd900a0249f48507584b5;p=git.git

cherry-pick/revert: add support for -X/--strategy-option

For example, this would allow cherry-picking or reverting patches from
a piece of history with a different end-of-line style, like so:

	$ git revert -Xrenormalize old-problematic-commit

Currently that is possible with manual use of merge-recursive but the
cherry-pick/revert porcelain does not expose the functionality.

While at it, document the existing support for --strategy.

+The following sequence attempts to backport a patch, bails out because
+the code the patch applies to has changed too much, and then tries
+again, this time exercising more care about matching up context lines.

+------------
+$ git cherry-pick topic^             <1>
+$ git diff                           <2>

+------------
+<1> apply the change that would be shown by `git show topic^`.
+In this example, the patch does not apply cleanly, so
+information about the conflict is written to the index and
+working tree and no new commit results.
+<2> summarize changes to be reconciled
+<3> cancel the cherry-pick.  In other words, return to the
+pre-cherry-pick state, preserving any local modifications you had in
+the working tree.
+<4> try to apply the change introduced by `topic^` again,
+spending extra time to avoid mistakes based on incorrectly matching
+context lines.
