### NAME

    git_dedupe_commits.sh

### SYNOPSIS

    git_dedupe_commits.sh [ -l | --loosen ]

        [ --ca | --common-ansestor ] [ -d | --delim ] 

        [ --dr | --dry-run ] [ -v | --verbose ]

        [ -p | --progress ] [ --pt | --preserve-tmp ] 

### DESCRIPTION

    Removes duplicate commits on a branch.

### Options

	-l, --loosen

        Loosen the commit matching. Can specify multiple times to make

        it more forgiving on matches. Useful when commit messages don't

        match due to edits during rebasing.

    --ca, --common-ansestor (Default)

        Use merge-base to determine common ansestor. Speeds up finding

        duplicate commits, but slightly possible to miss commits.

    ---no-ca, --no-common-ansestor

        Disables common-ansestor. Slower, but possibly more accurate.

    -d, --delim (Default: |)

        Change delimiter. Must be a printable character.

    --dr, --dry-run

        Dry run.  Emits the cherry-pick command to be run, and does NOT

        run the command.

    --no-dr, --no-dry-run (Default)

        Does the run.

    -v, --verbose

        Verbose output.

    --no-verbose (Default)

        Disable verbose output.

    -p, --progress (Default)

        Progress output.

    --no-progress

        Disables progress output.

    --pt, --preserve-tmp

        Preserves the temporary directory. Could be useful for debuging.

    --no-pt, --no-preserve-tmp (Default)

        Deletes temporary directory.

### Usage

    1) Create a clean branch based on the base/team branch

    2) Run git_dedupe_commits.sh
