[help] list anonymous branches, not associated to any tracked branch

[Talor-A]

Hi, i'd like help constructing a revset that I can't quite figure out. I'd like a command that rebases all my anonymous commits, but leaves in-place stacks that I've pushed to my remote. That way, I could run this command and keep all my in-progress work up to date, but not worry about continuously force-pushing to github with unnecessary changes for work that's been added to a PR. I currently use this:

jj rebase -b 'all:(remote_bookmarks()|tags()|bookmarks())..' -d main

however, this still rebases stacks that have any un-pushed commit, which I'd like to stay in place. for example:

$ jj log
@  yvxwpkns [email protected] 2025-04-17 10:21:01 30a99f5f
│  (empty) (no description set)
○  qkqxvzlz [email protected] 2025-04-17 10:21:01 ta/push/qkqxvzlztrxt git_head() 5f1acbba
│  foo
○  ktmzpqpy [email protected] 2025-04-17 10:20:45 ta/push/ktmzpqpyptmq d54eb1ea
│  bar
○  uyznppxu [email protected] 2025-04-17 10:20:21 ea84ff14
│  foo
◆  nsxqkskt [email protected] 2025-04-17 09:51:54 main f0b8b8cc
│  Some other commit on `main

this stack will still be matched and rebased because @ is not on any branch, even though it's descended from a remote branch.

I haven't been able to find any matches in the issues in this repo or online for a command that only matches entirely anonymous stacks.

Does this work? It seems to select what you're asking for in my own repo.

jj rebase -d trunk() -b 'all:trunk().. ~ (trunk()..remote_bookmarks())::'

Building it up from scratch:

             trunk()..remote_bookmarks()          Find all commits reachable from a remote bookmark...
            (trunk()..remote_bookmarks())::       ...and all of their descendants
                                                  These are the commits we _don't_ want to rebase

trunk()..                                         Start with all commits not merged to the trunk...
trunk().. ~ (trunk()..remote_bookmarks())::       ...and exclude the ones we don't want to rebase

i had to amend it slightly for myself to also include tags, but that might not be correct in 100% of cases. thank you!

all:trunk().. ~ ((trunk()..remote_bookmarks())|(trunk()..tags()))::

[jennings]

Oh that’s a good point, I didn’t think of tags because I don’t use them.

I might do it this way to make sure we omit any immutable commits (which includes commits that are ancestors of tags):

trunk().. ~ (trunk()..(remote_bookmarks()|immutable_heads()))::

simpler, thanks!
