This option creates a new branch that sets itself as the upstream for the current branch and adopts the current branch's upstream as its own. What does it do? ---------------- Imagine we have the following set of branches (as `git map-branches -vv` would show it): origin/master 00001111 [ ahead 1 ] foo 00002222 [ ahead 1 ] baz * 00003333 [ ahead 1 ] 'baz' is the current branch. If one were to issue the following command: $ git new-branch --inject-current bar ... then the branch layout will now look like this: origin/master 00001111 [ ahead 1 ] foo 00002222 [ ahead 1 ] bar * 00002222 baz 00003333 [ ahead 1 ] Why would you need this? ------------------------ When working on a single change or a sequence of changes organized into dependent branches, this option lets you quickly create a new branch with the correct upstreams so that you can peel off smaller cleanups and potentially unrelated changes out of your main feature branch into separate branches. These can then be uploaded as dependent CLs.
