Sometimes we are a bit forgetful and miss a detail when creating a patch. In this case we'll stack two patches by creating one after the other.

First we add a REQUIREMENTS file:

$ git checkout -b flux-capacitor-power
$ touch REQUIREMENTS
$ git add REQUIREMENTS
$ git commit -v -m "Define power requirements"
[flux-capacitor-power 3e674d1] Define power requirements
 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 REQUIREMENTS

$ git push rad flux-capacitor-power
To rad://z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji/z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi
 * [new branch]      flux-capacitor-power -> flux-capacitor-power
$ git push rad -o patch.message="Define power requirements" -o patch.message="See details." HEAD:refs/patches
✓ Patch aa45913e757cacd46972733bddee5472c78fa32a opened
To rad://z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji/z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi
 * [new reference]   HEAD -> refs/patches

And then a README file:

$ git checkout -b add-readme
$ touch README.md
$ git add README.md
$ git commit --message "Add README, just for the fun"
[add-readme 27857ec] Add README, just for the fun
 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 README.md

$ git push rad -o patch.message="Add README, just for the fun" HEAD:refs/patches
✓ Patch 183d343ab47d7fe18baf1b24b7209ad033d7fe5c opened
To rad://z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji/z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi
 * [new reference]   HEAD -> refs/patches

Our second patch looks like the following:

$ rad patch show 183d343ab47d7fe18baf1b24b7209ad033d7fe5c -v
╭────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮

├────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

But wait, we meant to stack them and so we don't want to see the commit 3e674d1 as part of this patch, so we create a new revision with a new base:

$ rad patch update 183d343 -b 3e674d1 -m "Whoops, forgot to set the base" --no-announce
ebe76f9c2148eb595d7a745f82275786bf3458c3

Now, if we show the patch we can see the patch's base has changed and we have a single commit:

$ rad patch show 183d343 -v
