Major Description
The script support/apply-reviews.py has a flag --dry-run which should dump the commands which would be performed. This flag is useful to e.g., reorder patch chains or to manually resolve intermediate conflicts while still being able to pull a full chain.
The output looks like this
% ./support/apply-reviews.py -r 62447 -c -n -3 --dry-run wget --no-check-certificate --no-verbose -O 62160.patch https://reviews.apache.org/r/62160/diff/raw/ git apply --index 62160.patch --3way git commit --author "Benno Evers <bevers@mesosphere.com>" -aF "62160.message" wget --no-check-certificate --no-verbose -O 62161.patch https://reviews.apache.org/r/62161/diff/raw/ git apply --index 62161.patch --3way git commit --author "Benno Evers <bevers@mesosphere.com>" -aF "62161.message" wget --no-check-certificate --no-verbose -O 62444.patch https://reviews.apache.org/r/62444/diff/raw/ git apply --index 62444.patch --3way git commit --author "Benno Evers <bevers@mesosphere.com>" -aF "62444.message" wget --no-check-certificate --no-verbose -O 62445.patch https://reviews.apache.org/r/62445/diff/raw/ git apply --index 62445.patch --3way git commit --author "Benno Evers <bevers@mesosphere.com>" -aF "62445.message" wget --no-check-certificate --no-verbose -O 62447.patch https://reviews.apache.org/r/62447/diff/raw/ git apply --index 62447.patch --3way git commit --author "Benno Evers <bevers@mesosphere.com>" -aF "62447.message"
Trying to replay that dry run leads to an error since the commands to create the commit message files are not printed.
We should add these commands to the output.
