From 738e88a20cd4c73930a18c759ed6f5704e85109f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Willford Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2017 14:32:55 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] format-patch: have progress option while generating patches When generating patches for the rebase command, if the user does not realize the branch they are rebasing onto is thousands of commits different, there is no progress indication after initial rewinding message. The progress meter as presented in this patch assumes the thousands of patches to have a fine granularity as well as assuming to require all the same amount of work/time for each, such that a steady progress bar is achieved. We do not want to estimate the time for each patch based e.g. on their size or number of touched files (or parents) as that is too expensive for just a progress meter. This patch allows a progress option to be passed to format-patch so that the user can be informed the progress of generating the patch. This option is then used by the rebase command when calling format-patch.
