[RFC] gbp-pull: similar force update strategy for all branches

Open marquiz opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Follow-up from #39. This patch is probably not ready for merging, but, a base for discussion.

Discussion from #39

I still think there is something broken in the gbp-pull logic when --force is used. The currently checked-out branch is merged but the others are just reset which I see kind of bad because the end result depends on the currently checked out branch. For example, if I happened to be on pq branch the debian branch would be simply reseted to whatever the upstream has. But, if I happened to be on the debian branch it would be merged, instead. Any thoughts?
