Test rebasing of merges with ancestors of the rebase destination - a situation that often happens when trying to recover from repeated merging with a mainline branch. The test case creates a dev branch that contains a couple of merges from the default branch. When rebasing to the default branch, these merges would be merges with ancestors on the same branch. The merges _could_ contain some interesting conflict resolutions or additional changes in the merge commit, but that is mixed up with the actual merge stuff and there is in general no way to separate them. Note: The dev branch contains _no_ changes to f-default. It might be unclear how rebasing of ancestor merges should be handled, but the current behavior with spurious prompts for conflicts in files that didn't change seems very wrong. $ hg init ancestor-merge $ cd ancestor-merge $ touch f-default $ hg ci -Aqm 'default: create f-default' $ hg branch -q dev $ hg ci -qm 'dev: create branch' $ echo stuff > f-dev $ hg ci -Aqm 'dev: f-dev stuff' $ hg up -q default $ echo stuff > f-default $ hg ci -m 'default: f-default stuff' $ hg up -q dev $ hg merge -q default $ hg ci -m 'dev: merge default' $ hg up -q default $ hg rm f-default $ hg ci -m 'default: remove f-default' $ hg up -q dev $ hg merge -q default $ hg ci -m 'dev: merge default' $ hg up -q default $ echo stuff > f-other $ hg ci -Aqm 'default: f-other stuff' $ hg tglog @ 7: e08089805d82 'default: f-other stuff' | | o 6: 9455ee510502 'dev: merge default' dev |/| o | 5: 462860db70a1 'default: remove f-default' | | | o 4: 4b019212aaf6 'dev: merge default' dev |/| o | 3: f157ecfd2b6b 'default: f-default stuff' | | | o 2: ec2c14fb2984 'dev: f-dev stuff' dev | | | o 1: 1d1a643d390e 'dev: create branch' dev |/ o 0: e90e8eb90b6f 'default: create f-default' $ hg clone -qU . ../ancestor-merge-2 Full rebase all the way back from branching point: $ hg rebase -r 'only(dev,default)' -d default --config ui.interactive=True << EOF > c > EOF rebasing 1:1d1a643d390e "dev: create branch" note: not rebasing 1:1d1a643d390e "dev: create branch", its destination already has all its changes rebasing 2:ec2c14fb2984 "dev: f-dev stuff" rebasing 4:4b019212aaf6 "dev: merge default" file 'f-default' was deleted in local [dest] but was modified in other [source].
