Subject: b4 prep HEAD fails when specifying branch point
Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2022 22:07:19 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Y4+9Fz7lkzSnFV72@sirena.org.uk> (raw)

Using Debian bullseye with backports of git installed to get
filter-branch if I attempt to run b4 prep it refuses to create a
new branch saying:

| $  b4 -d prep -n b4-test -f v6.0-rc3
| Running git --no-pager status --porcelain=v1 --untracked-files=no
| Running git --no-pager symbolic-ref -q HEAD
| Running git --no-pager config -z --get-regexp branch\.master\..*
| Running git --no-pager rev-parse --show-toplevel
| Running git --no-pager config -z --get-regexp b4\..*
| Running git --no-pager config -z --get-regexp gpg\..*
| Looking for the cover letter commit with magic marker "--- b4-submit-tracking ---"
| Running git --no-pager log --grep --- b4-submit-tracking --- -F --pretty=oneline --max-count=1 --since=1.year
| Running git --no-pager config -z --get-regexp user\..*
| Running git --no-pager symbolic-ref -q HEAD
| Running git --no-pager symbolic-ref -q HEAD
| Running git --no-pager config -z --get-regexp branch\.master\..*
| CRITICAL: fork-point %s is not on the current branch.
|           Switch to the branch you want to use as base and try again.

AFAICT this happens no matter what fork point is specified.
