Re: [egit-dev] merge tool workflow

[Bernard Leach <leachbj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been playing with that patch from Remy, what's the etiquette for updating someone else's gerrit review?  Can I push my update or create a new one that refers to the original work?  It's still definitely still work in progress but might stir more interest.

That Customize Perspective approach certainly solves the immediate need.

A more sophisticated commit dialog could be interesting in some cases but wouldn't really help with the merge/rebase process since its too late in the workflow and its modal so isn't going to let you modify files/run builds/run tests etc to verify the semantic merge.

We think about replacing the modal dialog by a view to get rid of the modality part of the problem.

For full flexibility we probably should provide the "git merge --no-commit" option (as far as I understand this

option without ever having used it)
