Git hints: ORIG_HEAD and merging
[Posted May 9, 2012 by corbet]
For those looking for some advanced git tricks:
this
Google+ conversation has a lot to offer, especially with regard to
difficult merges. Much of it comes from Linus himself: "
You didn't
know about ORIG_HEAD? That's literally a 'Day One' feature of git, exactly
because it's so incredibly useful (especially to a maintainer). We had
ORIG_HEAD back when you had to script your stuff manually and bang two
rocks together to make git do anything at all."
