It might be just the matter of doing something like the attached patch on top of Oswald's, reusing the existing code to instruct the user to describe the reversion. ------- >8 ------------- >8 ------------- >8 ------------- >8 ------- Subject: [PATCH 3/2] revert: force explaining overly complex revert chain Once we revert reverts of revert and reach "Reapply "Reapply "..."", it becomes too unweirdly to read a reversion of such a comit. We instruct the user to explain why the reversion is done in their own words when using the revert.reference mode, and the instruction applies equally for such an overly complex revert chain. The rationale for such a sequence of events should be recorded to help future developers. Building on top of the recent Oswald's work to turn "revert revert" into "reapply", let's turn the reference mode automatically on in such a case. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- * I left the reference to the second parent to honor the command line option and configuration variable even when this new mechanism kicks in and this is very much deliberate. As a commit that is a revert (or reapply) should be single parent (because a revert of a merge is a single parent commit), the choice does not make any difference in practice. sequencer.c | 16 +++++++++++----- t/t3501-revert-cherry-pick.sh | 11 ++++++++++- 2 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git c/sequencer.c w/sequencer.c index 7dc13fdcca..43bb558518 100644 --- c/sequencer.c +++ w/sequencer.c @@ -2130,10 +2130,10 @@ static int should_edit(struct replay_opts *opts) { return opts->edit; } -static void refer_to_commit(struct replay_opts *opts, +static void refer_to_commit(int use_reference, struct strbuf *msgbuf, struct commit *commit) { - if (opts->commit_use_reference) { + if (use_reference) { struct pretty_print_context ctx = { .abbrev = DEFAULT_ABBREV, .date_mode.type = DATE_SHORT, @@ -2250,12 +2250,18 @@ static int do_pick_commit(struct repository *r, if (command == TODO_REVERT) { const char *orig_subject; + int use_reference = opts->commit_use_reference; base = commit; base_label = msg.label; next = parent; next_label = msg.parent_label; - if (opts->commit_use_reference) { + + if (starts_with(msg.subject, "Reapply \"Reapply \"")) + /* fifth time is too many - force reference format*/ + use_reference = 1; + + if (use_reference) { strbuf_addstr(&msgbuf, "# *** SAY WHY WE ARE REVERTING ON THE TITLE LINE ***"); } else if (skip_prefix(msg.subject, "Revert \"", &orig_subject) && @@ -2273,11 +2279,11 @@ static int do_pick_commit(struct repository *r, strbuf_addstr(&msgbuf, "\""); } strbuf_addstr(&msgbuf, "\n\nThis reverts commit "); - refer_to_commit(opts, &msgbuf, commit); + refer_to_commit(use_reference, &msgbuf, commit); if (commit->parents && commit->parents->next) { strbuf_addstr(&msgbuf, ", reversing\nchanges made to "); - refer_to_commit(opts, &msgbuf, parent); + refer_to_commit(opts->commit_use_reference, &msgbuf, parent); } strbuf_addstr(&msgbuf, ".\n"); } else { diff --git c/t/t3501-revert-cherry-pick.sh w/t/t3501-revert-cherry-pick.sh index 7011e3a421..7a8715d3f4 100755 --- c/t/t3501-revert-cherry-pick.sh +++ w/t/t3501-revert-cherry-pick.sh @@ -190,7 +190,16 @@ test_expect_success 'title of fresh reverts' ' git revert --no-edit HEAD && echo "Revert \"Reapply \"B\"\"" >expect && git log -1 --pretty=%s >actual && - test_cmp expect actual + test_cmp expect actual && + git revert --no-edit HEAD && + echo "Reapply \"Reapply \"B\"\"" >expect && + git log -1 --pretty=%s >actual && + test_cmp expect actual && + + # Give the stronger instruction for unusually complex case + git revert --no-edit HEAD && + git log -1 --pretty=%s >actual && + grep -F -e "# *** SAY WHY WE ARE REVERTING" actual ' test_expect_success 'title of legacy double revert' '
