Progress estimation

Open mulle-nat opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

I am currently doing my first git imerge on a clang repository and imerge is happily autofilling away since a couple of hours. It would be nice if there was some sort of indication, what the upper bound of autofills are and how many have been performed.

Autofilling 9-1709....success.  (max. 192312 autofills remaining)

At the moment I have no idea how long this will take (another hour or a week ?) and if it wouldn't be easier just to manually merge (which would cost me a day).

This would be very useful. So far I've been using the git-imerge diagram command every now and then, but a nice progress message would free me of that need (I'd still do it because it's nice to look at the diagram :D)

You can kindof tell how big the current autofill will be by looking at the test merges that it did just before it started autofilling. But I agree that it would be nice for imerge to display estimated progress itself.
