Updating a revision with dependencies pulls all diffs from dependencies by default
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

At least for Mercurial-based repos, if revision B depends on A, modifying B and running "arc diff" will put the changes from A into the revision for B. While this can be easily worked around by specifying the base commit, it would be preferable if arcanist/phabricator determined the base commit for B by default.

Use arc which to understand what arc is doing and why.

I believe the behavior as described is (currently) expected with Mercurial. To update revision B without A's changes you must specify the commit from A to B, otherwise it will default to the range from master to B which will include A's changes.
