Request: Add --update-refs option to git-imerge

Open ramcdona opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

I love git-imerge and tell everyone how great it is every chance I get. I describe it as power steering for git.

I am a rebase always kind of git user.

I sometimes end up with long branches -- made of many sub-branches concatenated together. I basically use the intermediate branches as 'markers' for steps along the greater path.

When I rebase these long branches, I like to bring all the intermediate branches along with me. I recently found --update-refs which makes this easy. Unfortunately, it does not work with my other favorite tool git-imerge.

git-imerge rebase foo --update-refs

Would be divine.
