cd035b1cef rebase -i: add exec command to launch a shell command
The typical usage pattern would be to run a test (or simply a compilation
command) at given points in history.

The shell command is ran (from the worktree root), and the rebase is
stopped when the command fails, to give the user an opportunity to fix
the problem before continuing with "git rebase --continue".

This needs a little rework of skip_unnecessary_picks, which wasn't robust
enough to deal with lines like

  exec >"file    name with many spaces"

in the todolist. The new version extracts command, sha1 and rest from
each line, but outputs the line itself verbatim to avoid changing the
whitespace layout.

938791cd01 git-rebase--interactive.sh: use printf instead of echo to print commit message
On systems with an echo which defaults to the XSI-conformant behavior
(Solaris, or others using Ksh), echo will interpret certain backslashed
characters as control sequences.  This can cause a problem for interactive
rebase when it is used to rebase commits whose commit "subject" (the first
line) contains any of these backslashed sequences.  In this case, echo will
substitute the control sequence for the backslashed characters and either
the rebased commit message will differ from the original, or the rebase
process will fail.  Neither is desirable.

So work around this issue by replacing the echo statements used to print
out portions of the commit message, with printf.

Also, add a test to test for this breakage.

41f556b947 rebase-i: style fix
Case arms should align with "case" and "esac".

Do not cat a file into a pipeline; just make the downstream command

Having a while statement as a downstream of a pipe is fine, but
the loop should begin on its own line.

b096374f4a rebase -i: Abort cleanly if new base cannot be checked out
Untracked content in the working tree may prevent rebase -i from checking out
the new base onto which it wants to replay commits, if the new base commit
includes files at those (now untracked) paths. Currently, rebase -i dies
uncleanly in this situation, updating ORIG_HEAD and leaving a useless
.git/rebase-merge directory, with which the user can do nothing useful except
rebase --abort. Make rebase -i abort the procedure itself instead, as
non-interactive rebase already does, and add a test for this behavior.

77bc694907 rebase-interactive: silence warning when no commits rewritten
If you do a "rebase -i" and don't change any commits,
nothing is rewritten, and we have no REWRITTEN_LIST. The
shell prints out an ugly message:

  $ GIT_EDITOR=true git rebase -i HEAD^
  /path/to/git-rebase--interactive: 1: cannot open
    /path/to/repo/.git/rebase-merge/rewritten-list: No such file
  Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/master.

We can fix it by not running "notes copy" at all if nothing
was rewritten.

0acb62f202 rebase -i: make post-rewrite work for 'edit'
The post-rewrite support, in the form of the call to
'record_in_rewritten', was hidden in the arm where we have to record a
new commit for the user.  This meant that it was never invoked in the
case where the user has already amended the commit by herself.

[The test is designed to exercise both arms of the 'if' in question.]

Furthermore, recording the stopped-sha (the SHA1 of the commit before
the editing) suffered from a cut&paste error from die_with_patch and
used the wrong variable, hence it never recorded anything.

Noticed by Junio.

b499549401 Teach rebase the --no-ff option.
For git-rebase.sh, --no-ff is a synonym for --force-rebase.

For git-rebase--interactive.sh, --no-ff cherry-picks all the commits in
the rebased branch, instead of fast-forwarding over any unchanged commits.

--no-ff offers an alternative way to deal with reverted merges.  Instead of
"reverting the revert" you can use "rebase --no-ff" to recreate the branch
with entirely new commits (they're new because at the very least the
committer time is different).  This obviates the need to revert the
reversion, as you can re-merge the new topic branch directly.  Added an
addendum to revert-a-faulty-merge.txt describing the situation and how to
use --no-ff to handle it.

3fa7c3da37 work around an obnoxious bash "safety feature" on OpenBSD
Bash (4.0.24) on OpenBSD 4.6 refuses to run this snippet:

    $ cat gomi.sh
    #!/bin/sh
    one="/var/tmp/1 1"
    rm -f /var/tmp/1 "/var/tmp/1 1"
    echo hello >$one
    $ sh gomi.sh; ls /var/tmp/1*
    /var/tmp/1 1
    $ bash gomi.sh; ls /var/tmp/1*
    gomi.sh: line 4: $one: ambiguous redirect
    ls: /var/tmp/1*: No such file or directory

Every competent shell programmer knows that a <$word in redirection is not
subject to field splitting (POSIX.1 "2.7 Redirection" explicitly lists the
kind of expansion performed: "... the word that follows the redirection
operator shall be subjected to ...", and "Field Splitting" is not among
them).

Some clueless folks apparently decided that users need to be protected in
the name of "security", however.

Output from "git grep -e '> *\$' -- '*.sh'" indicates that rebase-i
suffers from this bogus "safety".  Work it around by surrounding the
variable reference with a dq pair.

76c9c0db3d rebase -i: Export GIT_AUTHOR_* variables explicitly
There is no point doing self-assignments of these variables.  Instead,
just export them to the environment, but do so in a sub-shell, because

	VAR1=VAL1 VAR2=VAL2 ... command arg1 arg2...

does not mark the variables exported if command that is run
is a shell function, according to POSIX.1.

The callers of do_with_author do not rely on seeing the effect of any
shell variable assignments that may happen inside what was called through
this shell function (currently "output" is the only one), so running it in
the subshell doesn't have an adverse semantic effect.

When a squash/fixup fails due to a conflict, the user is required to

suggested.

Change the handling of conflicts within squash/fixup command series:
Whenever the user is required to intervene, consider the resulting
commit to be a new basis for the following squash/fixups and use its
commit message in later suggested combined commit messages.

e49ca974d6 rebase -i: abort cleanly if the editor fails to launch
If the user's configured editor is emacsclient, the editor
will fail to launch if emacs is not running and the git
command that tried to lanuch the editor will abort. For most
commands, all you have to do is to start emacs and repeat
the command.

The "git rebase -i" command, however, aborts without cleaning
the "$GIT_DIR/rebase-merge" directory if it fails to launch the
editor, so you'll need to do "git rebase --abort" before
repeating the rebase command.

Change "git rebase -i" to terminate using "die_abort" (instead of
with "die") if the initial launch of the editor fails.

e1622bfcba Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity
If the user has exported the GREP_OPTIONS environment variable, the output
from "grep" and "egrep" in scripted Porcelains may be different from what
they expect.  For example, we may want to count number of matching lines,
by "grep" piped to "wc -l", and GREP_OPTIONS=-C3 will break such use.

The approach taken by this change to address this issue is to protect only
our own use of grep/egrep.  Because we do not unset it at the beginning of
our scripts, hook scripts run from the scripted Porcelains are exposed to
the same insanity this environment variable causes when grep/egrep is used
to implement logic (e.g. "grep | wc -l"), and it is entirely up to the
hook scripts to protect themselves.

On the other hand, applypatch-msg hook may want to show offending words in
the proposed commit log message using grep to the end user, and the user
might want to set GREP_OPTIONS=--color to paint the match more visibly.
The approach to protect only our own use without unsetting the environment
variable globally will allow this use case.

1830d9cb62 Fix rebase -p --onto
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.

d911d1465d rebase -i: learn to rebase root commit
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.

e249044c67 rebase-i-p: minimum fix to obvious issues
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 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.

faae853ca6 rebase--interactive: fix parent rewriting for dropped commits
`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.

c14c3c82da git-rebase--interactive: auto amend only edited commit
"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:

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.

a96dc01e21 rebase -i -p: fix parent rewriting
The existing parent rewriting did not handle the case where a previous
commit was amended (via edit or squash).  Fix by always putting the
new sha1 of the last commit into the $REWRITTEN map.

71d9451e06 rebase -i -p: handle index and workdir correctly
'git rebase -i -p' forgot to update the index and working directory
during fast forwards.  Fix this.  Makes 'GIT_EDITOR=true rebase -i -p
<ancestor>' a no-op again.

Also, it attempted to do a fast forward even if it was instructed not
to commit (via -n).  Fall back to the cherry-pick code path and let
that handle the issue for us.

a8ccc204c5 rebase -i: When an 'edit' stops, mention the commit
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.

1c5fa0a179 rebase-i: keep old parents when preserving merges
When "rebase -i -p" tries to preserve merges of unrelated branches, it
lost some parents:

 - When you have more than two parents, the commit in the new history
   ends up with fewer than expected number of parents and this breakage
   goes unnoticed;

 - When you are rebasing a merge with two parents and one is lost, the
   command tries to cherry-pick the original merge commit, and the command
   fails.

28ed6e7b32 Rename ".dotest/" to ".git/rebase" and ".dotest-merge" to "rebase-merge"
Since the files generated and used during a rebase are never to be
tracked, they should live in $GIT_DIR.  While at it, avoid the rather
meaningless term "dotest" to "rebase", and unhide ".dotest-merge".

This was wished for on the mailing list, but so far unimplemented.
