The git UI can be improved by addressing the error messages to those
they help: inexperienced and casual git users. To this intent, it is
helpful to make sure the terms used in those messages can be understood
by this segment of users, and that they guide them to resolve the
problem.
In particular, failure to apply a patch during a git rebase is a common
problem that can be very destabilizing for the inexperienced user. It is
important to lead them toward the resolution of the conflict (which is a
3-steps process, thus complex) and reassure them that they can escape a
situation they can't handle with "--abort". This commit answer those two
points by detailling the resolution process and by avoiding cryptic git
linguo.

manually aborted without using "git rebase --abort".
* nd/rebase-forget:
rebase: add --quit to cleanup rebase, leave everything else untouched
There are occasions when you decide to abort an in-progress rebase and
move on to do something else but you forget to do "git rebase --abort"
first. Or the rebase has been in progress for so long you forgot about
it. By the time you realize that (e.g. by starting another rebase)
it's already too late to retrace your steps. The solution is normally
rm -r .git/<some rebase dir>
and continue with your life. But there could be two different
directories for <some rebase dir> (and it obviously requires some
knowledge of how rebase works), and the ".git" part could be much
longer if you are not at top-dir, or in a linked worktree. And
"rm -r" is very dangerous to do in .git, a mistake in there could
destroy object database or other important data.
Provide "git rebase --quit" for this use case, mimicking a precedent
that is "git cherry-pick --quit".

"git commit-tree" plumbing command required the user to always sign
its result when the user sets the commit.gpgsign configuration
variable, which was an ancient mistake. Rework "git rebase" that
relied on this mistake so that it reads commit.gpgsign and pass (or
not pass) the -S option to "git commit-tree" to keep the end-user
expectation the same, while teaching "git commit-tree" to ignore
the configuration variable. This will stop requiring the users to
sign commit objects used internally as an implementation detail of
"git stash".
* jc/commit-tree-ignore-commit-gpgsign:
commit-tree: do not pay attention to commit.gpgsign
ba3c69a9 (commit: teach --gpg-sign option, 2011-10-05) introduced a
"signed commit" by teaching the --[no]-gpg-sign option and the
commit.gpgsign configuration variable to various commands that
create commits.
Teaching these to "git commit" and "git merge", both of which are
end-user facing Porcelain commands, was perfectly fine. Allowing
the plumbing "git commit-tree" to suddenly change the behaviour to
surprise the scripts by paying attention to commit.gpgsign was not.
Among the in-tree scripts, filter-branch, quiltimport, rebase and
stash are the commands that run "commit-tree". If any of these
wants to allow users to always sign every single commit, they should
offer their own configuration (e.g. "filterBranch.gpgsign") with an
option to disable signing (e.g. "git filter-branch --no-gpgsign").
Ignoring commit.gpgsign option _obviously_ breaks the backward
compatibility, but it is easy to follow the standard pattern in
scripts to honor whatever configuration variable they choose to
follow. E.g.
case $(git config --bool commit.gpgsign) in
true) sign=-S ;;
*) sign= ;;
esac &&
git commit-tree $sign ...whatever other args...
Do so to make sure that "git rebase" keeps paying attention to the
configuration variable, which unfortunately is a documented mistake.

"git rebase", unlike all other callers of "gc --auto", did not
ignore the exit code from "gc --auto".
* jk/ok-to-fail-gc-auto-in-rebase:
rebase: ignore failures from "gc --auto"
After rebasing, we call "gc --auto" to clean up if we
created a lot of loose objects. However, we do so inside an
&&-chain. If "gc --auto" fails (e.g., because a previous
background gc blocked us by leaving "gc.log" in place),
then:
1. We will fail to clean up the state directory, leaving
the user stuck in the rebase forever (even "git am
--abort" doesn't work, because it calls "gc --auto"!).
2. In some cases, we may return a bogus exit code from
rebase, indicating failure when everything except the
auto-gc succeeded.
We can fix this by ignoring the exit code of "gc --auto".

When the branch to be rebased is already up to date, we
"git checkout" the branch, print an "up to date" message,
and end the rebase early. However, our checkout may print
"Switched to branch 'foo'" or "Already on 'foo'", even if
the user has asked for "--quiet".
We should avoid printing these messages at all, "--quiet" or
no. Since the rebase is a noop, this checkout can be seen as
optimizing out these other two checkout operations (that
happen in a real rebase):
1. Moving to the detached HEAD to start the rebase; we
always feed "-q" to checkout there, and instead rely on
our own custom message (which respects --quiet).
2. Finishing a rebase, where we move to the final branch.
Here we actually use update-ref rather than
git-checkout, and produce no messages.

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.

and handle that return value explicitly in git-rebase.sh.

The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.
The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.
The patch was generated by:

Make it default to 'git rebase @{upstream}'. That is also what
'git pull [--rebase]' defaults to, so it only makes sense that
'git rebase' defaults to the same thing.
but that isn't actually the case. Since commit d44e712 (pull: support
rebased upstream + fetch + pull --rebase, 2009-07-19), pull has actually
chosen the most recent reflog entry which is an ancestor of the current
branch if it can find one.
Add a '--fork-point' argument to git-rebase that can be used to trigger
