I often find myself looking manually through the reflog of `master` to
find a commit I previously reset to with tools/reset-to-pull-request .
Sometimes I want to see a previous version of a PR I'm reviewing a
revised version of; sometimes to look at two related PRs together.
So, here's a feature to automate that by saving each PR branch in its
own ref, with a name like `refs/remotes/pr/1234` -- or `pr/1234`, as
you'd normally refer to it.
To enable this, set the new config option:
$ git config zulip.prPseudoRemote pr
(Or you can pick another name.)
The reason I hesitate to just make this the behavior for everyone
immediately is that the resulting `pr/1234` refs will naturally
accumulate and may clutter up the view -- and because with the
`refs/remotes/` style of name I've chosen, it requires a bit of
Git plumbing to clean them up. (Use `git update-ref -d`.)
I'll play with it and iterate; comments welcome from other willing
early adopters.
The appropriate name for the remote pointing at the repo we maintain
may be `upstream` for most of our repos... but not when we're
downstream of someone else, e.g. for react-native. So, make it easy
to configure per-repo.
Minor fixes that enable the ability to:
- Re-run fetch-rebase-pull-request.
- Specify the name of the remote repo as an optional second parameter.
The default remains 'upstream'.
