This is useful since manual merges are error prone and a merge commit more clearly expresses each side of the merge, and the merge resolution choices, than a rebase (which tends to bundle all the local changes and the merge ops together and giving little chance of a rollback.)

2. Overview

The extension provides both a new command rebaseif as well as a new option to pull --rebaseif that invoke the rebaseif procedure after pulling. (Similar to RebaseExtension 's --rebase option).

This is useful since manual merges are error prone and a merge commit more clearly expresses each side of the merge, and the merge resolution choices, than a rebase (which tends to bundle all the local changes and the merge ops together and giving little chance of a rollback.)

The background for this is described in this StackOverflow question.

3. Configuration

Configure your .hgrc to enable the extension by adding following lines:

[extensions]
