Details

Given the following scenario:

git checkout master
git checkout -b branch1
.. do work
wip
arc diff
git checkout -b branch2
... do some more work
wip
arc diff <hash of branch1>

Running arc land on branch2 gives this message:

Landing current branch 'branch2'.
 TARGET  Landing onto "master", the default target under git.
 REMOTE  Using remote "origin", the default remote under git.
You have untracked files in this working copy.

  Working copy: /home/fred/projects/go/src/xxxx/

  Untracked changes in working copy:
  (To ignore these changes, add them to ".git/info/exclude".)
    Makefile
    errors.log

    Ignore these untracked files and continue? [y/N] y

 FETCH  Fetching origin/master...
These commits will be landed:

      - 9bcc5b6 branch1 description
      - 21cc078 branch2 description

Usage Exception: There are multiple revisions on feature branch 'branch2' which are not present on 'master':

     - D2094: branch1 description
     - D2095: branch2 description

Separate these revisions onto different branches, or use --revision <id> to use the commit message from <id> and land them all.

Should I do arc land --revision 2095 to land them both?

Or ...

git checkout branch1
arc land
git checkout branch2
arc land

I eventually figured out that the following pattern works. Not sure if this is the best approach, but this is what I've been doing lately.

Create a stack

> git checkout -b feature1
> git commit -am "WIP"
> arc diff
> git checkout -b feature2
> git commit -am "WIP"
> arc diff
> git checkout -b feature3
> git commit -am "WIP"
> arc diff

Land the stack

> git checkout feature1
> arc land
> git checkout feature2
> git rebase master
> arc land
> git checkout feature3
> git rebase master
> arc land
