If you need to build on top of it to correct 86 earlier mistakes, a new topic branch is created by forking at 87 the tip of the "master". This is not strictly necessary, but 88 it makes it easier to keep your history simple. 89 90* Whenever you need to test or publish your changes to topic 91 branches, merge them into "next" branch. 92 93The script, being an example, hardcodes the publish branch name 94to be "next", but it is trivial to make it configurable via 95$GIT_DIR/config mechanism. 96 97With this workflow, you would want to know: 98 99(1) ... if a topic branch has ever been merged to "next". Young 100 topic branches can have stupid mistakes you would rather 101 clean up before publishing, and things that have not been 102 merged into other branches can be easily rebased without 103 affecting other people. But once it is published, you would 104 not want to rewind it. 105 106(2) ... if a topic branch has been fully merged to "master". 107 Then you can delete it. More importantly, you should not 108 build on top of it -- other people may already want to 109 change things related to the topic as patches against your 110"master", so if you need further changes, it is better to 111 fork the topic (perhaps with the same name) afresh from the 112 tip of "master". 113 114Let's look at this example: 115 116 o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o "next" 117 / / / / 118 / a---a---b A / / 119 / / / / 120 / / c---c---c---c B / 121 / / / \ / 122 / / / b---b C \ / 123 / / / / \ / 124 ---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o "master" 125 126 127A, B and C are topic branches. 128 129 * A has one fix since it was merged up to "next". 130 131 * B has finished. It has been fully merged up to "master" and "next", 132 and is ready to be deleted. 133 134 * C has not merged to "next" at all. 135 136We would want to allow C to be rebased, refuse A, and encourage 137B to be deleted. 138 139To compute (1): 140 141 git-rev-list ^master ^topic next 142 git-rev-list ^master next 143 144 if these match, topic has not merged in next at all. 145 146To compute (2): 147 148 git-rev-list master..topic 149 150 if this is empty, it is fully merged to "master".
