Unmet expectations with set-parent

[matthewgonzalez]

If I have a hypothetical stack of branches and move a child up the stack using set-parent, all of the commits the child branch inherited from the previous tree remain.

My expectations are that any commits that were associated with the former parent branches would no longer show up in the branch's commit history, considering it's no longer a child of those parent branches.

I understand this is not a trivial ask, but am curious to know if I'm off-base.

That's a great idea! The implementation could be similar to #2388.

This sounds more like stack refactoring.

Thanks! Looking forward to the progress made on this; will keep an eye on it!
