Hello everyone,
During the current work on repairing unintended renames I often use to bulk commit commit_all_submodules script. That's why I worked on some of the improvements.
The first change is that I moved "git pull" after check whether in the module are any changes to push to the server. The advantages are two:
1) If the module does not contain changes, it is omitted both - pull and push. Step to pushing changes to the server can be significantly faster.
2) In general commit to 'tde' are not included unrelated changes in the modules in which was pushed commits from some other developers.
The second change is that I added to "git pull" option --rebase. The advantage is that if changes were made on both sides - on the server and also in the local git clone, then instead of merge temporary local branch are local changes "rebased" to current HEAD on the server in order to maintain linear history without unnecessary merges. As you can see on my commits to master 'tde' repository.
What is your opinion on the use of "--rebase"?
Note: Attached is both - both script and diff.
