rebase: use --update-refs #139
Conversation
Introduced in Git 2.38 [1], the --update-refs option to git-rebase will move refs whose commits are rewritten in a rebase. This behavior is particularly useful when using stacked branches. When git-absorb is called with --and-rebase, add this option to the rebase call. [1]: 900b50c242 (rebase: add --update-refs option, 2022-07-19)

It's worth noting that I'm not sure what the 'minimum supported Git version' of git-absorb will be, but this option was introduced 'relatively recently' in Q3/Q4 2022, so that's worth consideration. |

I'm using it automatically in git-absorb and More information about rebase.updateRefs in git config So while I understand your patch here, I think it would be better if git-absorb could support --update-refs and --no-update-refs as a flag, so they can be passed to git rebase command called by git-absorb https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rebase#Documentation/git-rebase.txt---update-refs |

sorry, declining this - especially since upstream already has a config option to set it by default. i don't want to be in the game of passing arbitrary flags to git rebase - see #88 for that. |

Ah! Somehow I didn't think to check git-config here. Agreed; that should be preferred :-) Thanks! |
