1532433 - better support for submitting a single commit

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Conduit :: moz-phab, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Nathan Froyd [:froydnj]]

I had a sequence of commits:

HEAD ----> x
           y
           z
           ...
central -> []

and I wanted to submit just x:

froydnj@hawkeye:~/src/gecko$ moz-phab submit --bug 1531577 HEAD
Failed to find any commits to submit

Um, OK, maybe moz-phab is confused. Maybe an explicit hash?

froydnj@hawkeye:~/src/gecko$ moz-phab submit --bug 1531577 49549e7
Failed to find any commits to submit

Oh, I have to actually form a single-commit range:

froydnj@hawkeye:~/src/gecko$ moz-phab submit --bug 1531577 768d366 HEAD
Submitting 1 commit:
...

which is quite unfriendly. moz-phab should be able to do the Right Thing with single commits; git-bz certainly could.

[:glob ✱]

after much discussion the plan here is to add a --single <sha> switch to support specifying a single revision, and to improve the error message when no commits were found to guide people towards --single.

I think it's valuable. Let's do it
