"git rebase -i", after it fails to auto-resolve the conflict, had
an unnecessary call to "git rerere" from its very early days, which
was spotted recently; the call has been removed.
* js/rebase-i-dedup-call-to-rerere:
rebase -i: remove an unnecessary 'rerere' invocation
Interactive rebase uses 'git cherry-pick' and 'git merge' to replay
commits. Both invoke the 'rerere' machinery when they fail due to merge
conflicts. Note that all code paths with these two commands also invoke
the shell function die_with_patch when the commands fail.
Since commit 629716d2 ("rerere: do use multiple variants") the second
operation of the rerere machinery can be observed by a duplicated
message "Recorded preimage for 'file'". This second operation records
the same preimage as the first one and, hence, only wastes cycles.
Remove the 'git rerere' invocation from die_with_patch.
Shell function die_with_patch can be called after the failure of
"git commit", too, which also calls into the rerere machinery, but it
does so only after a successful commit to record the resolution.
Therefore, it is wrong to call 'git rerere' from die_with_patch after
"git commit" fails.

t9xxx series has been updated primarily for readability, while
fixing small bugs in it. A few scripted Porcelains have also been

"test -n".

Portability enhancement for "rebase -i" to help platforms whose
shell does not like "for i in <empty>" (which is not POSIX-kosher).
* jk/rebase-interative-eval-fix:
rebase--interactive: avoid empty list in shell for-loop
In shell code like:
test -z $foo
test -n $foo
that does not quote its arguments, it's easy to think that
it is actually looking at the contents of $foo in each case.
But if $foo is empty, then "test" does not see any argument
at all! The results are quite subtle.
POSIX specifies that test's behavior depends on the number
of arguments it sees, and if $foo is empty, it sees only
one. The behavior in this case is:
1 argument: Exit true (0) if $1 is not null; otherwise,
exit false.
So in the "-z $foo" case, if $foo is empty, then we check
that "-z" is non-null, and it returns success. Which happens
to match what we expected. But for "-n $foo", if $foo is
empty, we'll see that "-n" is non-null and still return
success. That's the opposite of what we intended!
Furthermore, if $foo contains whitespace, we'll end up with
more than 2 arguments. The results in this case are
generally unspecified (unless the first part of $foo happens
to be a valid binary operator, in which case the results are
specified but certainly not what we intended).
And on top of this, even though "test -z $foo" _should_ work
for the empty case, some older shells (reportedly ksh88)
complain about the missing argument.
So let's make sure we consistently quote our variable
arguments to "test". After this patch, the results of:
git grep 'test -[zn] [^"]'
are empty.

The $strategy_opts variable contains a space-separated list
of strategy options, each individually shell-quoted. To loop
over each, we "unwrap" them by doing an eval like:
eval '
for opt in '"$strategy_opts"'
do
...
done
'
Note the quoting that means we expand $strategy_opts inline
in the code to be evaluated (which is the right thing
because we want the IFS-split and de-quoting). If the
variable is empty, however, we ask the shell to eval the
following code:
for opt in
do
...
done
without anything between "in" and "do". Most modern shells
are happy to treat that like a noop, but reportedly ksh88 on
AIX considers it a syntax error. So let's catch the case
that the variable is empty and skip the eval altogether
(since we know the loop would be a noop anyway).

Recent versions of GNU grep is pickier than before to decide if a
file is "binary" and refuse to give line-oriented hits when we
expect it to, unless explicitly told with "-a" option. As our
scripted Porcelains use sane_grep wrapper for line-oriented data,
even when the line may contain non-ASCII payload we took from
end-user data, use "grep -a" to implement sane_grep wrapper when
using an implementation of "grep" that takes the "-a" option.
* jc/sane-grep:
rebase-i: clarify "is this commit relevant?" test
sane_grep: pass "-a" if grep accepts it
While I was checking all the call sites of sane_grep and sane_egrep,
I noticed this one is somewhat strangely written. The lines in the
file sane_grep works on all begin with 40-hex object name, so there
is no real risk of confusing "test $(...) = ''" by finding something
that begins with a dash, but using the status from sane_grep makes
it a lot clearer what is going on.

If the user explicitly specified a merge strategy or strategy
options, continue to use that strategy/option after
"rebase --continue". Add a test of the corrected behavior.
If --merge is specified or implied by -s or -X, then "strategy and
"strategy_opts" are set to values from which "strategy_args" can be
derived; otherwise they are set to empty strings. Either way,
their values are propagated from one step of an interactive rebase
to the next via state files.
"do_merge", on the other hand, is *not* propagated to later steps of
an interactive rebase. Therefore, making the initialization of
"strategy_args" conditional on "do_merge" being set prevents later
steps of an interactive rebase from setting it correctly.
Luckily, we don't need the "do_merge" guard at all. If the rebase
was started without --merge, then "strategy" and "strategy_opts"
are both the empty string, which results in "strategy_args" also
being set to the empty string, which is just what we want in that
situation. So remove the "do_merge" guard and derive
"strategy_args" from "strategy" and "strategy_opts" every time.

Recent update to "rebase -i" that tries to sanity check the edited

* gr/rebase-i-drop-warn:

t3404: "rebase -i" gets broken when insn sheet uses CR/LF line endings
Editors on Windows can and do save text files with CRLF line
endings, which is the convention on the platform. We are seeing
reports that the "read" command in a port of bash to the environment
however does not strip the CRLF at the end, not adjusting for the
same convention on the platform.
This breaks the recently added sanity checks for the insn sheet fed
to "rebase -i"; instead of an empty line (hence nothing in $command),
the script was getting a lone CR in there.
Special case a lone CR and treat it the same way as an empty line to
work this around.
This patch (also) passes the test with Git for Windows, where the
issue was seen first.

"git rebase -i" had a minor regression recently, which stopped
considering a line that begins with an indented '#' in its insn
sheet not a comment, which is now fixed.
* gr/rebase-i-drop-warn:
rebase-i: loosen over-eager check_bad_cmd check
rebase-i: explicitly accept tab as separator in commands
804098bb (git rebase -i: add static check for commands and SHA-1,
2015-06-29) tried to check all insns before running any in the todo
list, but it did so by implementing its own parser that is a lot
stricter than necessary. We used to allow lines that are indented
(including comment lines), and we used to allow a whitespace between
the insn and the commit object name to be HT, among other things,
that are flagged as an invalid line by mistake.
Fix this by using the same tokenizer that is used to parse the todo
list file in the new check.
Whether it's a good thing to accept indented comments is
debatable (other commands like "git commit" do not accept them), but we
already accepted them in the past, and some people and scripts rely on
this behavior. Also, a line starting with space followed by a '#' cannot
have any meaning other than being a comment, hence it doesn't harm to
accept them as comments.

The git-rebase-todo is parsed several times with different parsers. In
principle, the user input is normalized by transform_todo_ids and
further parsing can be stricter.
In case the user wrote
pick deadbeef<TAB>commit message
the parser of transform_todo_ids was considering the sha1 to be
"deadbeef<TAB>commit", and was leaving the tab in the transformed sheet.
In practice, this went unnoticed since the actual command interpretation
was done later in do_next which did accept the tab as a separator.
Make it explicit in the code of transform_todo_ids that tabs are
accepted. This way, code that mimicks it will also accept tabs as
separator.
A similar construct appears in skip_unnecessary_picks, but this one
comes after transform_todo_ids, hence reads the normalized format, so it
needs not be changed.

t5407: use <<- to align the expected output

Usually, when 'git rebase' stops before completing the rebase, it is to
give the user an opportunity to edit a commit (e.g. with the 'edit'
command). In such cases, 'git rebase' leaves the sha1 of the commit being
rewritten in "$state_dir"/stopped-sha, and subsequent 'git rebase
--continue' will call the post-rewrite hook with this sha1 as <old-sha1>
argument to the post-rewrite hook.
The case of 'git rebase' stopping because of a failed 'exec' command is
different: it gives the opportunity to the user to examine or fix the
failure, but does not stop saying "here's a commit to edit, use
--continue when you're done". So, there's no reason to call the
post-rewrite hook for 'exec' commands. If the user did rewrite the
commit, it would be with 'git commit --amend' which already called the
post-rewrite hook.
Fix the behavior to leave no stopped-sha file in case of failed exec
command, and teach 'git rebase --continue' to skip record_in_rewritten if
no stopped-sha file is found.

When rebase--interactive processes a task, it removes the item from
the todo list and appends it to another list of executed tasks. If a
pick (this includes squash and fixup) fails before the index has
recorded the changes, take the corresponding item and put it on the todo
list again. Otherwise, the changes introduced by the scheduled commit
would be lost.
That kind of decision is possible since the cherry-pick command
signals why it failed to apply the changes of the given commit. Either
the changes are recorded in the index using a conflict (return value 1)
and rebase does not continue until they are resolved or the changes
are not recorded in the index (return value neither 0 nor 1) and
rebase has to try again with the same task.

existing commits listed in the insn sheet. These object names are
shortened just before invoking the sequence editor to present the
insn sheet to the end user, and then expanded back to full object
names when the editor returns.
But the code still used the shortened names when preparing the insn
sheet for the very first time, resulting "7 hexdigits or more"
output to the user. Change the code to use full 40-hex commit
object names from the very beginning to make things more uniform.

When the `--fork-point` argument was added to `git rebase`, we changed
the value of $upstream to be the fork point instead of the point from
which we want to rebase. When $orig_head..$upstream is empty this does
not change the behaviour, but when there are new changes in the upstream
we are no longer checking if any of them are patch-identical with
changes in $upstream..$orig_head.
Fix this by introducing a new variable to hold the fork point and using
this to restrict the range as an extra (negative) revision argument so
that the set of desired revisions becomes (in fork-point mode):
git rev-list --cherry-pick --right-only \
$upstream...$orig_head ^$fork_point
This allows us to correctly handle the scenario where we have the
following topology:
C --- D --- E <- dev
/
B <- master@{1}
/
o --- B' --- C* --- D* <- master
where:
- B' is a fixed-up version of B that is not patch-identical with B;
- C* and D* are patch-identical to C and D respectively and conflict
textually if applied in the wrong order;
- E depends textually on D.
The correct result of `git rebase master dev` is that B is identified as
the fork-point of dev and master, so that C, D, E are the commits that
need to be replayed onto master; but C and D are patch-identical with C*
and D* and so can be dropped, so that the end result is:
o --- B' --- C* --- D* --- E <- dev
If the fork-point is not identified, then picking B onto a branch
containing B' results in a conflict and if the patch-identical commits
are not correctly identified then picking C onto a branch containing D
(or equivalently D*) results in a conflict.
This change allows us to handle both of these cases, where previously we
either identified the fork-point (with `--fork-point`) but not the
patch-identical commits *or* (with `--no-fork-point`) identified the
patch-identical commits but not the fact that master had been rewritten.

of the dot-sourced file and return to the "dot" command that
dot-sourced it. The /bin/sh utility on FreeBSD however behaves
poorly under some circumstances when such a "return" is executed.
In particular, if the "dot" command is contained within a function,
then when a "return" is executed by the script it runs (that is not
itself inside a function), control will return from the function
that contains the "dot" command skipping any statements that might
follow the dot command inside that function. Commit 99855ddf (first
appearing in v1.8.4.1) addresses this by making the "dot" command
the last line in the function.
Unfortunately the FreeBSD /bin/sh may also execute some statements
in the script run by the "dot" command that appear after the
troublesome "return". The fix in 99855ddf does not address this
problem.
For example, if you have script1.sh with these contents:
run_script2() {
. "$(dirname -- "$0")/script2.sh"
_e=$?
echo only this line should show
[ $_e -eq 5 ] || echo expected status 5 got $_e
return 3
}
run_script2
e=$?
[ $e -eq 3 ] || { echo expected status 3 got $e; exit 1; }
And script2.sh with these contents:
if [ 5 -gt 3 ]; then
return 5
fi
case bad in *)
echo always shows
esac
echo should not get here
! :
When running script1.sh (e.g. '/bin/sh script1.sh' or './script1.sh'
after making it executable), the expected output from a POSIX shell
is simply the single line:
only this line should show
However, when run using FreeBSD's /bin/sh, the following output
appears instead:
should not get here
expected status 3 got 1
Not only did the lines following the "dot" command in the run_script2
function in script1.sh get skipped, but additional lines in script2.sh
following the "return" got executed -- but not all of them (e.g. the
"echo always shows" line did not run).
These issues can be avoided by not using a top-level "return" in
script2.sh. If script2.sh is changed to this:
main() {
if [ 5 -gt 3 ]; then
return 5
fi
case bad in *)
echo always shows
esac
echo should not get here
! :
}
main
Then it behaves the same when using FreeBSD's /bin/sh as when using
other more POSIX compliant /bin/sh implementations.
We fix the git-rebase--*.sh scripts in a similar fashion by moving
the top-level code that contains "return" statements into its own
function and then calling that as the last line in the script.
