How to reorder patches of git guilt patch series?

Question

The guilt tool ease the patch management over a git repository. It is barely equivalent to the Mq extension of Mercurial SCM.

I have a series of several patches on my repo. I want to re-order the series of patches.

In the Mq extension, there is a --move argument to the qpush command to do such re-ordering. The guilt push command does not allow such argument.

How to perform such re-ordering operation on a guilt patch series?

Answer 1

For now the only solution I found is to manually modify the guilt series file.

This file is located under: <repo_bdir>/.git/patches/<branch_name>/series

Answer 2

You need to edit the series file:

guilt series -e

I recommend doing this without any patches applied, or at least without any patches applied whose order you're modifying.
