Thank you. I’ve lost months of my life to rebasing large patch sets against an actively maintained upstream. Your tool looks like it will save me a lot of gray hair.



You're welcome!

I had to rebase a patch to PG across thousands of upstream commits after having left it alone for a year+, and it was very painful going until I talked to @vdukhovni about it, and he had this tool, which was `slowrebase` at the time, and we improved it to do a sort of bisection approach to rebasing. That made the rebase I had to do go real fast!

I never had to re-resolve the same conflicts using this script.
