rebase -i: more graceful handling of invalid commands
help -i: properly error out if no info viewer can be found
Currently, when there is an invalid command, the rest of the line is
still treated as if the command had been valid, i.e. rebase -i attempts
to produce a patch, using the next argument as a SHA1 name. If there is
no next argument or an invalid one, very confusing error messages
appear (the line was '.'; path to git-rebase-todo substituted):
Unknown command: .
fatal: ambiguous argument 'Please fix this in the file $somefile.':
unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions
fatal: Not a valid object name Please fix this in the file $somefile.
fatal: bad revision 'Please fix this in the file $somefile.'
Instead, verify the validity of the remaining line and error out earlier
if necessary.

We don't want to use output() on git-commit --amend when rewording the
commit message. This leads to confusion as the editor is run in a
subshell with it's output saved away, leaving the user with a seemingly

In a rebase with --onto, the correct test for whether we can skip
rewriting a commit is if it is already on top of $ONTO, not $UPSTREAM.
Without --onto, this distinction does not exist and the behavior does
not change.
In a situation with two merged branches on a common base X:
X---o---o---o---M
\ /
x---x---x---x
Y
if we try to move the branches from their base on X to be based on Y,
so as to get
X
Y---o'--o'--o'--M'
\ /
x'--x'--x'--x'
then we fail. The command `git rebase -p --onto Y X M` moves only the
first-parent chain, like so:
X
\
x---x---x---x
\
Y---o'--o'--o'--M'
because it mistakenly drops the other branch(es) x---x---x---x from
the TODO file. This tests and fixes this behavior.

Actually, I think the issue is pretty independent of submodules; when
"git commit" gets an empty parameter, it misinterprets it as a file.
So avoid passing an empty parameter to "git commit".
Actually, this is a nice cleanup, as MSG_FILE and EDIT_COMMIT were mutually

Teach git-rebase -i a new option --root, which instructs it to rebase
the entire history leading up to <branch>. This is mainly for
symmetry with ordinary git-rebase; it cannot be used to edit the root
commit in-place (it requires --onto <newbase>). Commits that already
exist in <newbase> are skipped.
In the normal mode of operation, this is fairly straightforward. We
run cherry-pick in a loop, and cherry-pick has supported picking the
root commit since f95ebf7 (Allow cherry-picking root commits,
2008-07-04).
In --preserve-merges mode, we track the mapping from old to rewritten
commits and use it to update the parent list of each commit. In this
case, we define 'rebase -i -p --root --onto $onto $branch' to rewrite
the parent list of all root commit(s) on $branch to contain $onto
instead.

When a merge that has a conflict was rebased, then rebase stopped to let
the user resolve the conflicts. However, thereafter --continue failed
because the author-script was not saved. (This is rebase -i's way to
preserve a commit's authorship.) This fixes it by doing taking the same
failure route after a merge that is also taken after a normal cherry-pick.

Jeff King noticed that this series uses non-portable ${var:0:7} syntax
to splice a string, which is not even in POSIX, in the script. A quick
look at around the offending part revealed a few issues, which this commit
fixes:
* Why filter output from "rev-list --left-right A...B" and look for the
ones that begin with ">"? Wouldn't "rev-list A..B" give that?
* The abbreviated SHA-1 are made with "rev-list --abbrev=7" into $TODO in
an earlier invocation, and it can be more than 7 letters to avoid
ambiguity. Not just that "${r:0:7} is not even in POSIX", but use of
it here is actively wrong.
* There is no point in catting a single file and piping it into grep.

This seems like the best guess we can make until git sequencer marks are
available. That being said, within the context of re-ordering a commit before
its parent in todo, I think applying it on top of the current commit seems like
a reasonable assumption of what the user intended.

This covers an odd boundary case found by Avi Kivity's script where a branch
coming off of UPSTREAM is merged into HEAD. Initially it show up in
UPSTREAM..HEAD, but technically UPSTREAM is not moving, the rest of head is, so
we should not need to rewrite the merge.
This adds a check saying we can keep `preserve=t` if `p=UPSTREAM`...unless this
is the first first-parent commit in our UPSTREAM..HEAD rev-list, which could
very well point to UPSTREAM, but we still need to consider it as rewritten so we
start pulling in the rest of the UPSTREAM..HEAD commits that point to it.

`rebase -i -p` got its rev-list of commits to keep by --left-right and
--cherry-pick. Adding --cherry-pick would drop commits that duplicated changes
already in the rebase target.
The dropped commits were then forgotten about when it came to rewriting the
parents of their descendents, so the descendents would get cherry-picked with
their old, unwritten parents and essentially make the rebase a no-op.
This commit adds a $DOTEST/dropped directory to remember dropped commits and
rewrite their children's parent as the dropped commit's possibly-rewritten
first-parent.

In case there is no commit to apply (for example because you rebase to
upstream and all your local patches have been applied there), do not
fail. The non-interactive rebase already behaves that way.
Do this by introducing a new command, "noop", which is substituted for
an empty commit list, so that deleting the commit list can still abort
as before.

"git rebase --continue" issued after git rebase being stop by "edit"
command is trying to amend the last commit using stage changes. However,
if the last commit is not the commit that was marked as "edit" then it
can produce unexpected results.
For instance, after being stop by "edit", I have made some changes to
commit message using "git commit --amend". After that I realized that
I forgot to add some changes to some file. So, I said "git add file"
and the "git rebase --continue". Unfortunately, it caused that the new
commit message was lost.
Another problem is that after being stopped at "edit", the user adds new
commits. In this case, automatic amend behavior of git rebase triggered
by some stage changes causes that not only that the log message of the
last commit is lost but that it will contain also wrong Author and Date
information.
Therefore, this patch restrict automatic amend only to the situation
where HEAD is the commit at which git rebase stop by "edit" command.

If git rebase interactive is stopped by "edit" command and then the user
said "git rebase --continue" while having some stage changes, git rebase
interactive is trying to amend the last commit by doing:
git --soft reset && git commit
However, the user can abort commit for some reason by providing an empty
log message, and that would leave the last commit undone, while the user
being completely unaware about what happened. Now if the user tries to
continue, by issuing "git rebase --continue" that squashes two previous
commits.

In a rebase session where more than one commit is to be 'edit'ed, and the
user spends considerable time to 'edit' a commit, it is easy to forget what
one wanted to 'edit' at the individual commits. It would be helpful to see
at which commit the rebase stopped.
Incidentally, if the rebase stopped due to merge conflicts or other errors,
the commit was already reported ("Could not apply $sha1..."), but when
rebase stopped after successfully applying an "edit" commit, it would not
mention it. With this change the commit is reported.

"merge" and "reset" leave the original point in history in ORIG_HEAD,
which makes it easy to go back to where you were before you inflict a
major damage to your history and realize that you do not like the result
at all. These days with reflog, we technically do not need to use
ORIG_HEAD, but it is a handy way nevertheless.
This teaches "am" and "rebase" (all forms --- the vanilla one that uses
"am" as its backend, "-m" variant that cherry-picks, and "--interactive")
to do the same.
The original idea and a partial implementation to do this only for "rebase
-m" was by Brian Gernhardt; this extends on his idea.
