NAME

       stg-sink - Send patches deeper down the stack

SYNOPSIS

       stg sink [-t <target patch>] [-n] [<patches>]

DESCRIPTION

       This is the opposite operation of linkstg:float[]: move the specified
       patches down the stack. It is for example useful to group stable
       patches near the bottom of the stack, where they are less likely to be
       impacted by the push of another patch, and from where they can be more
       easily committed or pushed.

       If no patch is specified on command-line, the current patch gets sunk.
       By default patches are sunk to the bottom of the stack, but the --to
       option allows to place them under any applied patch.

       Sinking internally involves popping all patches (or all patches
       including <target patch>), then pushing the patches to sink, and then
       (unless --nopush is also given) pushing back into place the
       formerly-applied patches.

OPTIONS

       -n, --nopush
           Do not push back on the stack the formerly-applied patches. Only
           the patches to sink are pushed.

       -t TARGET, --to TARGET
           Specify a target patch to place the patches below, instead of
           sinking them to the bottom of the stack.

       -k, --keep
           Keep the local changes.
