    Somewhat (or possibly greatly) related:

    Are tools like git-absorb safe/reliable?

    "Essentially, when your working directory has uncommitted changes on top of draft changesets, you can run `hg absorb` and the uncommitted modifications are automagically folded ("absorbed") into the appropriate draft ancestor changesets. This is essentially doing `hg histedit` + "roll" actions without having to make a commit or manually make history modification rules."

    I haven't wrapped my head around the algorithm. I get that an algorithm can "recollate" a series of commits in a way that yields no commit conflicts, but that's not the same as rearranging and combining commits into a sequence of semantically coherent atomic commits.

    git-autofixup can also be installed by simply downloading the script[1], giving it execute permissions, and putting it somewhere in your PATH. It needs perl 5.8.4+, which is very old, and only depends on the standard library. Git ships with a Perl interpreter on Windows.

    If there are any staged changes, git-autofixup only fixes those up and ignores any unstaged ones; otherwise it tries to autofixup all unstaged changes.

  • what is best perl gui library/module

    Tk is best supported, looks a bit old fashioned but loads of resources available. Prima is pure Perl and deserves more community support. Wx looks fancy and modern, but there are some bugs with Image handling (work-around-able) in Linux systems. QT4 works and requires multiple rollbacks and enormous headaches on modern distros to install, and QT5 is not available. GTk (both 2.0 and 3.0) is by far the easiest to use IMO, and Win32::GUI is a viable for Windows app development. I also made an attempt some years back to make GUI design in Perl much easier...still an amateurish "work -in-progress".

    Tk is one of the most mature guis for Perl. There are others. I am trying to dig up a page with some links by my google-fu is weak this morning. (clickclickclick). Ah! http://perl-begin.org/uses/GUI/. There is also this: https://github.com/saiftynet/GUIDeFATE. Not sure what state it is in these days. If you want to see what can be done with TK, check out Devel::ptkdb.
