The only exception is when moving a custom patch for an entire commit to an
earlier commit; in this case the source commit becomes empty, but we want to
keep it, mainly for consistency with moving the patch to a later commit, which
behaves the same.
In all other cases where we rebase, it's confusing when empty commits are kept;
the most common example is rebasing a branch onto master, where master already
contains some of the commits of our branch. In this case we simply want to drop
these.
The option doesn't have any affect in these views, so we don't need to toggle it
here. But the problem was the HandleFocus call at the end: this would activate
the wrong view, so we need to avoid it here.
Show an error if the user tries to turn the option on, to let them know that it
doesn't work here.
It's not possible to reliably stage things into a custom patch when "ignore
whitespace" is on, so always treat it as off here (like we do in the staging
panel).
It looks like this is a regression that was introduced in 8edad826ca.
It defaults to {"master", "main"}, but can be set to whatever branch names
are used as base branches, e.g. {"master", "devel", "v1.0-hotfixes"}. It is
used for color-coding the shas in the commit list, i.e. to decide whether
commits are green or yellow.
Our refresh code may try to push a context. It does this in two places:
1) when all merge conflicts are resolved, we push a 'continue merge?' confirmation context
2) when all conflicts of a given file are resolved and we're in the merge conflicts context,
we push the files context.
Sometimes we push the confirmation context and then push the files context over it, so the user
never sees the confirmation context.
This commit fixes the race condition by adding a check to ensure that we're still in the
merge conflicts panel before we try escaping from it
Previously, when rebasing a branch onto a newer master, all commits from the
previous fork point up to its head were marked red (unpushed), including the
commits that are on master already. While this is technically correct from the
perspective of the current branch's upstream, it's not what most people expect,
intuitively; they want to see where the current branch starts, relative to
master. So all commits of master should be green, and then the commits of the
current branch in red.
I don't see a reason why this restriction to have the selection be always
visible was necessary. Removing it has two benefits:
1. Scrolling a list view doesn't change the selection. A common scenario: you
look at one of the commits of your current branch; you want to see the how
many'th commit this is, but the beginning of the branch is scrolled off the
bottom of the commits panel. You scroll down to find the beginning of your
branch, but this changes the selection and shows a different commit now - not
what you want.
2. It is possible to scroll a panel that is not the current one without changing
the focus to it. That's how windows in other GUIs usually behave.
Enabling the filter selects the first entry in the filtered commits view. It's
useful to have a test that checks this, as I almost broke it in the following
commit (it needs an added FocusLine call in the setFiltering function in
filtering_menu_action.go).
