trailers: retrieving code-review trailers
This commands allows you to easily retrieve code-review trailers sent in reply to your work and apply them to the matching commits. It should locate code-review trailers sent in response to any previously submitted versions of your series, as long as:
either the patch-id of the commit still matches what was sent, or
the title of the commit is exactly the same
You can always edit the trailers after they are applied by using git
rebase -i
and choosing reword
as rebase action.
Most commonly, you just need to run:
b4 trailers -u
Command flags
-u, --update
Update branch commits with latest received trailers.
-S, --sloppy-trailers
Accept trailers where the email address of the sender differs from the email address found in the trailer itself.
-F MSGID, --trailers-from MSGID
Look for trailer updates in an arbitrary tread found on the public-inbox server. Note, that this is generally only useful in the following two cases:
for branches not already managed by
b4 prep
when a single larger series is broken up into multiple smaller series (or vice-versa)
--since SINCE
Only useful with
-F
. By default, b4 will only look for your own commits as far as 1 month ago. With this flag, you can instruct it to look further back.
