# $1 -- the upstream the series was forked from.

# $2 -- the branch being rebased (or empty when rebasing the current branch).

#

# This sample shows how to prevent topic branches that are already

# merged to 'next' branch from getting rebased, because allowing it

# would result in rebasing already published history.

This sample hook safeguards topic branches that have been

published from being rewound.

The workflow assumed here is:

 * Once a topic branch forks from "master", "master" is never

   merged into it again (either directly or indirectly).

 * Once a topic branch is fully cooked and merged into "master",

   it is deleted.  If you need to build on top of it to correct

   earlier mistakes, a new topic branch is created by forking at

   the tip of the "master".  This is not strictly necessary, but

   it makes it easier to keep your history simple.

 * Whenever you need to test or publish your changes to topic

   branches, merge them into "next" branch.

The script, being an example, hardcodes the publish branch name

to be "next", but it is trivial to make it configurable via

$GIT_DIR/config mechanism.

With this workflow, you would want to know:

(1) ... if a topic branch has ever been merged to "next".  Young

    topic branches can have stupid mistakes you would rather

    clean up before publishing, and things that have not been

    merged into other branches can be easily rebased without

    affecting other people.  But once it is published, you would

    not want to rewind it.

(2) ... if a topic branch has been fully merged to "master".

    Then you can delete it.  More importantly, you should not

    build on top of it -- other people may already want to

    change things related to the topic as patches against your

    "master", so if you need further changes, it is better to

    fork the topic (perhaps with the same name) afresh from the

    tip of "master".

Let's look at this example:

		   o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o "next"

		  /       /           /           /

		 /   a---a---b A     /           /

		/   /               /           /

	       /   /   c---c---c---c B         /

	      /   /   /             \         /

	     /   /   /   b---b C     \       /

	    /   /   /   /             \     /

    ---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o "master"

A, B and C are topic branches.

 * A has one fix since it was merged up to "next".

 * B has finished.  It has been fully merged up to "master" and "next",

   and is ready to be deleted.

 * C has not merged to "next" at all.

We would want to allow C to be rebased, refuse A, and encourage

B to be deleted.

To compute (1):

	git rev-list ^master ^topic next

	git rev-list ^master        next

	if these match, topic has not merged in next at all.

To compute (2):

	git rev-list master..topic

	if this is empty, it is fully merged to "master".
