Ok,
thanks to some IRC time of Tom's, I've implemented --skip-present for
whats-missing and replay.
address@hidden/tla--devo--1.1--patch-2
(hosted at http://people.initd.org/robertc/arch/public)
contains this.
I dunno if Tom will merge this or not.
But - it works for me, and it - rocks.
usage: instead of a normal replay against a branch with pending patches,
you can use replay --skip-present, to not replay patches that are
actually from your tree (or from a common ancestor). This will prevent
inappropriate double-patch applications.
When you have summary patches - like most of the patches in toms public
branches, if you have non hub and spoke merge patterns, so that patches
are flowing in arbitrary forms, you may need to replay against the
source branches as well. (See the idempotent merge page for more insight
into this).
