I am trying to use LibGit2Sharp to rebase a feature branch using a Tag as upstream. The initial graph looks like this:
* -- * -- * (featureA)
/
/
*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*-- (master)
| | | |
tag1 tag2 tag3 tag4
The idea is to rebase featureA branch on master, but not on the HEAD of master (last commit), but rather on the commit corresponding to tag2.
The end result would be something like this:
* -- * -- * (featureA)
/
/
*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*-- (master)
| | | |
tag1 tag2 tag3 tag4
The git syntax for this would be (and it works perfectly):
git rebase ref/tags/tag2 featureA
However, LibGit2Sharp syntax only allows passing in a Branch as argument for the upstream param.
var rebaseOptions = new RebaseOptions {...};
var identity = new Identity(...);
Branch branch = repo.Head;
Tag upstreamTag = repo.Tags[ontoTag];
var rebaseResult = repo.Rebase.Start(
branch,
upstream, // <-- this is where I am struggling to pass in this Tag as upstream
null,
identity,
rebaseOptions);
Any idea on how I can achieve this result via LibGit2Sharp?
