cherry-pick

I am wondering if cherry-picking from stash is possible. git stash save "test cherry-pick from stash" *git cherry-pick stash@{0}* --> Is this possible? I am getting the following exception when I tried above command : Error : ~/Documents$ git cherry-pick stash@{0} error: Commit 4590085c1a0d90de897633990f00a14b04405350 is a merge but no -m option was given. fatal: cherry-pick failed The problem is that a stash consists of two or three commits. When stashing, the modified working tree is stored in one commit, the index in one commit, and (if using the --include-untracked flag) any untracked

I have two branches: trunk, production. I have found a problem in trunk, made fix and committed it, pushed it. Now it was tested and I need do merge changes into the production branch as a hot-fix. I try to use the cherry-pick. However it doesn't work because a changed file(s) in the fix was renamed in the trunk earlier during some refactoring which I don't want bring into production. I don't want merge everything, but take only this commit. The cherry pick fails with "deleted by us" conflict (of course, the new file never even existed in the production branch). What is the correct way to

Suppose I have a set of commits in a repository folder... 123 (250 new files, 137 changed files, 14 deleted files) 122 (150 changed files) 121 (renamed folder) 120 (90 changed files) 119 (115 changed files, 14 deleted files, 12 added files) 118 (113 changed files) 117 (10 changed files) I want to get a working copy that includes all changes from revision 117 onward but does NOT include the changes for revisions 118 and 120. EDIT: To perhaps make the problem clearer, I want to undo the changes that were made in 118 and 120 while retaining all other changes. The folder contains thousands of

So I have done countless cherry picks before and it seems that I must fail at life with this right now, I am trying to cherry pick from one branch to another which should be easy, how ever I get an error about it being a merge but not -m was given? $ git cherry-pick a8c5ad438f6173dc34f6ec45bddcef2ab23285e0 error: Commit a8c5ad438f6173dc34f6ec45bddcef2ab23285e0 is a merge but no -m option was given. fatal: cherry-pick failed That looks wrong.......it should be: $ git cherry-pick a8c5ad438f6173dc34f6ec45bddcef2ab23285e0 Since when do I have to supply a -m function? user4815162342 You have to

In a normal Git merge conflict, the three versions of a file in play for the three-way merge are roughly as follows: LOCAL: the version from my branch REMOTE: the version from the other branch BASE: the version from the common ancestor of the two branches (in particular, the common ancestor of my branch's HEAD and the other branch's HEAD) When a Git cherry-pick generates a merge conflict, there is no common ancestor, properly speaking, so how are these things determined? The same could be asked about rebase. cherry-pick Unless I have misled myself, then if you do "git cherry-pick <commit C>",

There've been several questions recently about skipping changes when maintaining release branches in Mercurial. For example: Mercurial: Branch specific changes keep coming back after dummy merge Why are Mercurial backouts in one branch affecting other branches? Since it was introduced in 2.0, I've wondered about using graft to avoid this problem. Given a revision tree like this: A---B---C---D---E---F---G---H---I---J Suppose we need to create a release branch that skips the Evil change E . hg update -r D hg graft "F::J" giving us: A---B---C---D---E---F---G---H---I---J \ --F'--G'--H'--I'--J' Q1:

Everywhere I see this: "...cherry-pick applies changes introduced by a commit..." I did this: created this file in master: ** File 1 ** Content ** Footer ** then branched out to branch2 and committed a change: ** File 1 ** Content Edit 1 ** Footer ** and then another one: ** File 1 ** Content Edit 2 Edit 1 ** Footer ** Now I went back to master and tried to cherry-pick the latest commit from branch2. I expected that only 'Edit2' will get imported since isn't this a change introduced by that commit, compared to the previous one? What I got instead is the following merge conflict: ** File 1 **

I wonder if there is the way to copy one commit to another branch without checking out that branch. For example, I have two branches: master and parallel_version . I'm on parallel_version branch and I found a bug in file common for these branches. I've fixed it and committed. How to duplicate this commit to another branch, assuming I'm using git-svn? Normally I would do: $ git checkout master $ git cherry-pick parallel_version $ git checkout parallel_version Is there better way of doing that? That's not possible - simply imagine what would happen if there was a conflict that couldn't be
