Git Rebase Release

git-rebase-release.rst

Typically workflow is like this for a release

$ git checkout master -b 0.1.x  # or whatever version number

Things get done, version number get set up.

$ git commit -m package-0.1.0
$ git tag 0.1.0

The master branch should stay in sync - and if everything there should be moved to the next patch release

$ git checkout master -b rebase
$ git rebase -i 0.1.x  # drop commits that are not needed
$ git checkout 0.1.x
$ git reset --hard rebase
$ git branch -d rebase

All the above sbould complete without errors. Now bump the version.

$ git commit -m package-0.1.1
$ git tag 0.1.1
