Multi-commit operations #182

Open borekb opened 5 years ago

It would be great to have certain operations available on multiple commits, such as:

Cherry pick
Revert
Drop
Squash (#179)

Right now, it's not possible to select multiple commits in Git Graph's UI, and it might not be the easiest thing to implement, for example, Shift+click should only really work for a series of commits in a single branch. Still, it would be great if I could invoke some operations on multiple commits somehow.

Thanks for raising this feature request! It would definitely be nice to support operations on multiple commits, however as you have indicated, there are many challenges that must be overcome to support this in an unambiguous and intuitive way.

I’ve been implementing some foundational changes to how the graph stored in memory, analysed, and rendered in the next release (1.16.0). This will provide a new capability for future features to leverage topological information obtainable from the graph. This would also be required for this feature.
