Ok, attached is my messy committing: a) I mention a local bookmark
(refactor_pkg), b) I mention upstream, c) there are many local merges
(the repo was moving quite fast in octconf)
I think this adds too much noise tot he log, so I was trying to find
out the best way to do it.
Since rebase is an extension (I am not confident), I might go for the
re-cloning. Is there an objection to that?
I use rebase often. If you are really worried that it will fail, work on a separate clone where it won't matter if you make some mistakes.
Another useful extension is "glog" for displaying a graphical representation of parent commits so you can see more clearly the relationship of changesets, similar to the display here:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/graph/4f1da669b610
I also sometimes use "hg serve" to be able to see exactly that representation in a browser.
