git hide -b branchname

[adzenith]

Just as we have git move -b [commit], it would be great to have git hide -b [commit] to hide a whole subtree (and ideally delete the branch if [commit] is a branch). This way you don't have to figure out the root commit and then git hide -Dr [root commit].

Great minds think alike apparently. 😄

This is pretty easy to accomplish with revsets: git hide 'stack(<commit>)' should do it.

and ideally delete the branch if [commit] is a branch

FYI this was implemented on master in 1841ded, but I don't think it's made it into a release yet. The -D flag was removed and "delete the branch if the commit is manually hidden" is now the default behavior.
