Merge does not respect mergeoptions [message #824488] Mon, 19 March 2012 18:33 Go to next message

I have the following entry in my global git config file:

branch.master.mergeoptions=--no-commit --no-ff

At the command line, this takes effect. However, in EGit, neither option is effective. EGit will do a fast forward merge and auto-commit (if applicable).

How do I get EGit to respect the value here, or at minimum, perform a non-fast-forward AND non-committing merge? The merge dialog has no options.

EGit uses JGit for all git operations. And JGit simply doesn't support these options yet. We would have to first build these options into JGit and second enhance the UI in EGit to show these options.

I added a implementation of no-commit in https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/4945/. But it is not yet merged. I think nobody has started with no-ff yet. Contributions welcome Smile

I'll see whether we at least get no-commit in soon.


Ciao

Sorry for reawakening such an old thread. I noticed that the implementation of no-commit has since been integrated to JGit, but I couldn't find any option to set it as a default instead of selecting it every time I merge in the merge dialog. Do you happen to know if there is such an option (and how to set it)?

Since the latest EGIt release 3.4 you can use 'branch.<name>.mergeoptions' to configure the options used when merging into a given branch. As the command line Git client it supports a space-separated list of command line merge options as its value.

To always merge without committing into the master branch you can set
'branch.master.mergeoptions' to '--no-commit'. The merge dialog will show the appropriate options pre-selected.
