$GIT_DIR/index which is not always true when you take an arbitrary

Refreshing the index is usually very fast, but it can still take a
long time sometimes. Cold cache is one. Or copying a repo to a new
place (*). It's good to show something to let the user know "git
status" is not hanging, it's just busy doing something.
(*) In this case, all stat info in the index becomes invalid and git
falls back to rehashing all file content to see if there's any
difference between updating stat info in the index. This is quite
expensive. Even with a repo as small as git.git, it takes 3
seconds.

In commit b00bf1c9a8 ("git-rebase: make --allow-empty-message the
default", 2018-06-27), several arguments were given for transplanting
empty commits without halting and asking the user for confirmation on
each commit. These arguments were incomplete because the logic clearly
assumed the only cases under consideration were transplanting of commits
with empty messages (see the comment about "There are two sources for
commits with empty messages). It didn't discuss or even consider
rewords, squashes, etc. where the user is explicitly asked for a new
commit message and provides an empty one. (My bad, I totally should
have thought about that at the time, but just didn't.)
Rewords and squashes are significantly different, though, as described
by SZEDER:
Let's suppose you start an interactive rebase, choose a commit to
squash, save the instruction sheet, rebase fires up your editor, and
then you notice that you mistakenly chose the wrong commit to
squash. What do you do, how do you abort?
Before [that commit] you could clear the commit message, exit the
editor, and then rebase would say "Aborting commit due to empty
commit message.", and you get to run 'git rebase --abort', and start
over.
But [since that commit, ...] saving the commit message as is would
let rebase continue and create a bunch of unnecessary objects, and
then you would have to use the reflog to return to the pre-rebase
state.
Also, he states:
The instructions in the commit message template, which is shown for
'reword' and 'squash', too, still say...
# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting
# with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.
These are sound arguments that when editing commit messages during a
sequencer operation, that if the commit message is empty then the
operation should halt and ask the user to correct. The arguments in
commit b00bf1c9a8 (referenced above) still apply when transplanting
previously created commits with empty commit messages, so the sequencer
should not halt for those.
Furthermore, all rationale so far applies equally for cherry-pick as for
rebase. Therefore, make the code default to --allow-empty-message when
transplanting an existing commit, and to default to halting when the
user is asked to edit a commit message and provides an empty one -- for
both rebase and cherry-pick.

When an interactive rebase was stopped at the end of a fixup/squash

(with either `git rebase --skip` or `git rebase --continue`, it does not
really matter which).
We need to be very careful to wrap up the fixup/squash chain also in
this scenario: otherwise the next fixup/squash chain would try to pick
up where the previous one was left.

This is the flip side of the previous two patches: checking
for a non-zero oidcmp() can be more strictly expressed as
inequality. Like those patches, we write "!= 0" in the
coccinelle transformation, which covers by isomorphism the
more common:
if (oidcmp(E1, E2))
As with the previous two patches, this patch can be achieved
almost entirely by running "make coccicheck"; the only
differences are manual line-wrap fixes to match the original
code.
There is one thing to note for anybody replicating this,
though: coccinelle 1.0.4 seems to miss the case in
builtin/tag.c, even though it's basically the same as all
the others. Running with 1.0.7 does catch this, so
presumably it's just a coccinelle bug that was fixed in the
interim.

Using the more restrictive oideq() should, in the long run,
give the compiler more opportunities to optimize these
callsites. For now, this conversion should be a complete
noop with respect to the generated code.
The result is also perhaps a little more readable, as it
avoids the "zero is equal" idiom. Since it's so prevalent in
C, I think seasoned programmers tend not to even notice it
anymore, but it can sometimes make for awkward double
negations (e.g., we can drop a few !!oidcmp() instances
here).
This patch was generated almost entirely by the included
coccinelle patch. This mechanical conversion should be
completely safe, because we check explicitly for cases where
oidcmp() is compared to 0, which is what oideq() is doing
under the hood. Note that we don't have to catch "!oidcmp()"
separately; coccinelle's standard isomorphisms make sure the
two are treated equivalently.
I say "almost" because I did hand-edit the coccinelle output
to fix up a few style violations (it mostly keeps the
original formatting, but sometimes unwraps long lines).

Sometimes we want to suppress a coccinelle transformation
inside a particular function. For example, in finding
conversions of hashcmp() to oidcmp(), we should not convert
the call in oidcmp() itself, since that would cause infinite
recursion. We write that like this:
@@
identifier f != oidcmp;
expression E1, E2;
@@
f(...) {...
- hashcmp(E1->hash, E2->hash)
+ oidcmp(E1, E2)
...}
to match the interior of any function _except_ oidcmp().
Unfortunately, this doesn't catch all cases (e.g., the one
in sequencer.c that this patch fixes). The problem, as
explained by one of the Coccinelle developers in [1], is:
For transformation, A ... B requires that B occur on every
execution path starting with A, unless that execution path
ends up in error handling code. (eg, if (...) { ...
return; }). Here your A is the start of the function. So
you need a call to hashcmp on every path through the
function, which fails when you add ifs.
[...]
Another issue with A ... B is that by default A and B
should not appear in the matched region. So your original
rule matches only the case where every execution path
contains exactly one call to hashcmp, not more than one.
One way to solve this is to put the pattern inside an
angle-bracket pattern like "<... P ...>", which allows zero
or more matches of P. That works (and is what this patch
does), but it has one drawback: it matches more than we care
about, and Coccinelle uses extra CPU. Here are timings for
"make coccicheck" before and after this patch:
[before]
real 1m27.122s
user 7m34.451s
sys 0m37.330s
[after]
real 2m18.040s
user 10m58.310s
sys 0m41.549s
That's not ideal, but it's more important for this to be
correct than to be fast. And coccicheck is already fairly
slow (and people don't run it for every single patch). So
it's an acceptable tradeoff.
There _is_ a better way to do it, which is to record the
position at which we find hashcmp(), and then check it
against the forbidden function list. Like:
@@
position p : script:python() { p[0].current_element != "oidcmp" };
expression E1,E2;
@@
- hashcmp@p(E1->hash, E2->hash)
+ oidcmp(E1, E2)
This is only a little slower than the current code, and does
the right thing in all cases. Unfortunately, not all builds
of Coccinelle include python support (including the ones in
Debian). Requiring it may mean that fewer people can easily
run the tool, which is worse than it simply being a little
slower.
We may want to revisit this decision in the future if:
- builds with python become more common
- we find more uses for python support that tip the
cost-benefit analysis
But for now this patch sticks with the angle-bracket
solution, and converts all existing cocci patches. This
fixes only one missed case in the current code, though it
makes a much better difference for some new rules I'm adding
(converting "!hashcmp()" to "hasheq()" misses over half the
possible conversions using the old form).

The append_signoff() function takes an "int" to specify the
number of bytes to ignore. Most callers just pass 0, and the
remainder use ignore_non_trailer() to skip over cruft.
That function also returns an int, and uses them internally.
On systems where size_t is larger than an int (i.e., most
64-bit systems), dealing with a ridiculously large commit
message could end up overflowing an int, producing
surprising results (e.g., returning a negative offset, which
would cause us to look outside the original string).
Let's consistently use size_t for these offsets through this
whole stack. As a bonus, this makes the meaning of
"ignore_footer" as an offset (and not a boolean) more clear.
But while we're here, let's also document the interface.

When the sequencer code appends a signoff or cherry-pick
origin, it uses the default trailer-parsing options, which
treat "---" as the end of the commit message. As a result,
it may be fooled by a commit message that contains that
string and fail to find the existing trailer block. Even
more confusing, the actual append code does not know about
"---", and always appends to the end of the string. This can
lead to bizarre results. E.g., appending a signoff to a
commit message like this:
subject
body
---
these dashes confuse the parser!
Signed-off-by: A
results in output with a final block like:
Signed-off-by: A
Signed-off-by: A
The parser thinks the final line of the message is "body",
and ignores everything else, claiming there are no trailers.
So we output an extra newline separator (wrong) and add a
duplicate signoff (also wrong).
Since we know we are feeding a pure commit message, we can
simply tell the parser to ignore the "---" divider.

Most of the trailer code has an "opts" struct which is
filled in by the caller. We don't pass it down to
trailer_info_get(), which does the initial parsing, because
there hasn't yet been a need to do so.
Let's start passing it down in preparation for adding new
options. Note that there's a single caller which doesn't
otherwise have such an options struct. Since it's just one
caller (that we'd have to modify anyway), let's not bother
with any special treatment like accepting a NULL options
struct, and just have it allocate one with the defaults.

We store the length of the trailers list in a size_t. So on
a 64-bit system with a 32-bit int, in the unlikely case that
we manage to actually allocate a list with 2^31 entries,
we'd loop forever trying to iterate over it (our "int" would
wrap to negative before exceeding info->trailer_nr).
This probably doesn't matter in practice. Each entry is at
least a pointer plus a non-empty string, so even without
malloc overhead or the memory to hold the original string
we're parsing from, you'd need to allocate tens of
gigabytes. But it's easy enough to do it right.

.git/rebase-merge/stopped-sha or update REBASE_HEAD. To sensibly get the
hashes of the merge parents would require refactoring do_merge() to
extract the code that parses the merge parents into a separate function
which error_with_patch() could then use to write the parents into the
stopped-sha file. To create meaningful output make_patch() and 'git
rebase --show-current-patch' would also need to be modified to diff the
merge parent and merge base in this case.

The idea of `--exec` is to append an `exec` call after each `pick`.
Since the introduction of fixup!/squash! commits, this idea was extended
to apply to "pick, possibly followed by a fixup/squash chain", i.e. an
exec would not be inserted between a `pick` and any of its corresponding
`fixup` or `squash` lines.
The current implementation uses a dirty trick to achieve that: it
assumes that there are only pick/fixup/squash commands, and then
*inserts* the `exec` lines before any `pick` but the first, and appends
a final one.
With the todo lists generated by `git rebase --rebase-merges`, this
simple implementation shows its problems: it produces the exact wrong
thing when there are `label`, `reset` and `merge` commands.
Let's change the implementation to do exactly what we want: look for
`pick` lines, skip any fixup/squash chains, and then insert the `exec`
line. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Note: we take pains to insert *before* comment lines whenever possible,
as empty commits are represented by commented-out pick lines (and we
want to insert a preceding pick's exec line *before* such a line, not
afterward).
While at it, also add `exec` lines after `merge` commands, because they
are similar in spirit to `pick` commands: they add new commits.

Single quotes should be escaped as \' not \\'. The bad quoting breaks
the interactive version of 'rebase --root' (which is used when there
is no '--onto' even if the user does not specify --interactive) for
authors that contain "'" as sq_dequote() called by read_author_ident()
errors out on the bad quoting.
For other interactive rebases this only affects external scripts that
read the author script and users whose git is upgraded from the shell
version of rebase -i while rebase was stopped when the author contains
"'". This is because the parsing in read_env_script() expected the
broken quoting.
This patch includes code to handle the broken quoting when
git has been upgraded while rebase was stopped. It does this by
detecting the missing "'" at the end of the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE line to see
if it should dequote \\' as "'". Note this is only implemented for
normal picks, not for creating a new root commit (rebase will stop with
an error complaining out bad quoting in that case).
The fallback code has been manually tested by reverting both the quoting
fixes in write_author_script() and the previous fix for the missing "'"
at the end of the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE line and running
t3404-rebase-interactive.sh.
Ideally rebase and am would share the same code for reading and
writing the author script, but this commit just fixes the immediate
bug.

read_author_ident() is careful to handle errors "gently" when parsing
"rebase-merge/author-script" by printing a suitable warning and
returning NULL; it never die()'s. One possible reason that parsing might
fail is that "rebase-merge/author-script" has been hand-edited in such a
way which corrupts it or the information it contains.
However, read_author_ident() invokes fmt_ident() which is not so careful
about failing "gently". It will die() if it encounters a malformed
timestamp. Since read_author_ident() doesn't want to die() and since
it's dealing with possibly hand-edited data, take care to avoid passing
a bogus timestamp to fmt_ident().
A more "correctly engineered" fix would be to add a "gentle" version of
fmt_ident(), however, such a change it outside the scope of the bug-fix
series. If fmt_ident() ever does grow a "gentle" cousin, then the manual
timestamp check added here can be retired.

One possible fix would be simply to filter out the "@" when constructing
the "author" header timestamp, however, a more correct fix is to parse
the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE date (via parse_date()) and format the parsed result
into the "author" header. Since "rebase-merge/author-script" may be
edited by the user, this approach has the extra benefit of catching
other potential timestamp corruption due to hand-editing.
We can do better than calling parse_date() ourselves and constructing
the "author" header manually, however, by instead taking advantage of
fmt_ident() which does this work for us.
The benefits of using fmt_ident() are twofold. First, it simplifies the
logic considerably by allowing us to avoid the complexity of building
the "author" header in parallel with and in the same buffer from which
"rebase-merge/author-script" is being parsed. Instead, fmt_ident() is
invoked to compose the header after parsing is complete.
Second, fmt_ident() is careful to prevent "crud" from polluting the
composed ident. As with validating GIT_AUTHOR_DATE, this "crud"
avoidance prevents other (possibly hand-edited) bogus author information
from "rebase-merge/author-script" from corrupting the commit object.

When "git rebase -i --root" creates a new root commit, it corrupts the
"author" header's timezone by repeating the last digit:
author A U Thor <author@example.com> @1112912773 -07000
This is due to two bugs.
First, write_author_script() neglects to add the closing quote to the
value of GIT_AUTHOR_DATE when generating "rebase-merge/author-script".
Second, although sq_dequote() correctly diagnoses the missing closing
quote, read_author_ident() ignores sq_dequote()'s return value and
blindly uses the result of the aborted dequote.
sq_dequote() performs dequoting in-place by removing quoting and
shifting content downward. When it detects misquoting (lack of closing
quote, in this case), it gives up and returns an error without inserting
a NUL-terminator at the end of the shifted content, which explains the
duplicated last digit in the timezone.
(Note that the "@" preceding the timestamp is a separate bug which
will be fixed subsequently.)

When "git rebase -i --root" creates a new root commit (say, by swapping
in a different commit for the root), it corrupts the commit's "author"
header with trailing garbage:
author A U Thor <author@example.com> @1112912773 -07000or@example.com
This is a result of read_author_ident() neglecting to NUL-terminate the
buffer into which it composes the "author" header.
(Note that the "@" preceding the timestamp and the extra "0" in the
timezone are separate bugs which will be fixed subsequently.)
Security considerations: Construction of the "author" header by
read_author_ident() happens in-place and in parallel with parsing the
content of "rebase-merge/author-script" which occupies the same buffer.
This is possible because the constructed "author" header is always
smaller than the content of "rebase-merge/author-script". Despite
neglecting to NUL-terminate the constructed "author" header, memory is
never accessed (either by read_author_ident() or its caller) beyond the
allocated buffer since a NUL-terminator is present at the end of the
loaded "rebase-merge/author-script" content, and additional NUL's are
inserted as part of the parsing process.

Honor core.commentchar when preparing the list of commits to replay
in "rebase -i".
* as/sequencer-customizable-comment-char:
sequencer: use configured comment character
Handling of an empty range by "git cherry-pick" was inconsistent
depending on how the range ended up to be empty, which has been
corrected.

sequencer: handle empty-set cases consistently
The codebase has been updated to compile cleanly with -pedantic
option.

Many messages will be marked for translation in the following
commits. This commit updates some of them to be more consistent and
reduce diff noise in those commits. Changes are
- keep the first letter of die(), error() and warning() in lowercase
- no full stop in die(), error() or warning() if it's single sentence
messages
- indentation
- some messages are turned to BUG(), or prefixed with "BUG:" and will
not be marked for i18n
- some messages are improved to give more information
- some messages are broken down by sentence to be i18n friendly
(on the same token, combine multiple warning() into one big string)
- the trailing \n is converted to printf_ln if possible, or deleted
if not redundant
- errno_errno() is used instead of explicit strerror()
