bfca631634 Merge branch 'jc/revert-show-parent-info'
"git revert" learns "--reference" option to use more human-readable
reference to the commit it reverts in the message template it
prepares for the user.

* jc/revert-show-parent-info:
  revert: --reference should apply only to 'revert', not 'cherry-pick'
  revert: optionally refer to commit in the "reference" format

191faaf726 revert: --reference should apply only to 'revert', not 'cherry-pick'
As 'revert' and 'cherry-pick' share a lot of code, it is easy to
modify the behaviour of one command and inadvertently affect the
other.  An earlier change to teach the '--reference' option and the
'revert.reference' configuration variable to the former was not
careful enough and 'cherry-pick --reference' wasn't rejected as an
error.

It is possible to think 'cherry-pick -x' might benefit from the
'--reference' option, but it is fundamentally different from
'revert' in at least two ways to make it questionable:

 - 'revert' names a commit that is ancestor of the resulting commit,
   so an abbreviated object name with human readable title is
   sufficient to identify the named commit uniquely without using
   the full object name.  On the other hand, 'cherry-pick'
   usually [*] picks a commit that is not an ancestor.  It might be
   even picking a private commit that never becomes part of the
   public history.

 - The whole commit message of 'cherry-pick' is a copy of the
   original commit, and there is nothing gained to repeat only the
   title part on 'cherry-picked from' message.

[*] well, you could revert and then you can pick the original that
    was reverted to get back to where you were, but then you can
    revert the revert to do the same thing.

43966ab315 revert: optionally refer to commit in the "reference" format
A typical "git revert" commit uses the full title of the original
commit in its title, and starts its body of the message with:

    This reverts commit 8fa7f667cf61386257c00d6e954855cc3215ae91.

This does not encourage the best practice of describing not just
"what" (i.e. "Revert X" on the title says what we did) but "why"
(i.e. and it does not say why X was undesirable).

We can instead phrase this first line of the body to be more like

    This reverts commit 8fa7f667 (do this and that, 2022-04-25)

so that the title does not have to be

    Revert "do this and that"

We can instead use the title to describe "why" we are reverting the
original commit.

Introduce the "--reference" option to "git revert", and also the
revert.reference configuration variable, which defaults to false, to
tweak the title and the first line of the draft commit message for
when creating a "revert" commit.

When this option is in use, the first line of the pre-filled editor
buffer becomes a comment line that tells the user to say _why_.  If
the user exits the editor without touching this line by mistake,
what we prepare to become the first line of the body, i.e. "This
reverts commit 8fa7f667 (do this and that, 2022-04-25)", ends up to
be the title of the resulting commit.  This behaviour is designed to
help such a user to identify such a revert in "git log --oneline"
easily so that it can be further reworded with "git rebase -i" later.

82b28c4ed8 t3501: remove test -f and stop ignoring git <cmd> exit code
In the test 'cherry-pick after renaming branch', stop checking for
the presence of a file (opos) because we are going to "grep" in it in
the same test and the lack of it will be noticed as a failure anyway.

In the test 'revert after renaming branch', instead of allowing any
random contents as long as a known phrase is not there in it, we can
expect the exact outcome---after the successful revert of "added", the
contents of file "spoo" should become identical to what was in file
"oops" in the "initial" commit. This test also contains 'test -f' that
verifies presence of a file, but we have a helper function to do the same
thing. Replace it with appropriate helper function 'test_path_is_file'
for better readability and better error messages.

In both tests, we will not notice when "git rev-parse" starts segfaulting
without emitting any output. The 'test' command will end up being just
"test =", which yields success. Use the 'test_cmp_rev' helper to make
sure we will notice such a breakage.

db5875aa9f t0000-t3999: detect and signal failure within loop
Failures within `for` and `while` loops can go unnoticed if not detected
and signaled manually since the loop itself does not abort when a
contained command fails, nor will a failure necessarily be detected when
the loop finishes since the loop returns the exit code of the last
command it ran on the final iteration, which may not be the command
which failed. Therefore, detect and signal failures manually within
loops using the idiom `|| return 1` (or `|| exit 1` within subshells).

f172556b89 cherry-pick: use better advice message
"git cherry-pick", upon seeing a conflict, says:

hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths
hint: with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>'
hint: and commit the result with 'git commit'

as if running "git commit" to conclude the resolution of
this single step were the end of the story.  This stems from
the fact that the command originally was to pick a single
commit and not a range of commits, and the message was
written back then and has not been adjusted.

When picking a range of commits and the command stops with a
conflict in the middle of the range, however, after
resolving the conflict and (optionally) recording the result
with "git commit", the user has to run "git cherry-pick
--continue" to have the rest of the range dealt with,
"--skip" to drop the current commit, or "--abort" to discard
the series.

Suggest use of "git cherry-pick --continue/--skip/--abort"
so that the message also covers the case where a range of
commits are being picked.

Similarly, this optimization can be applied to git revert,
suggest use of "git revert --continue/--skip/--abort" so
that the message also covers the case where a range of
commits are being reverted.

It is worth mentioning that now we use advice() to print
the content of GIT_CHERRY_PICK_HELP in print_advice(), each
line of output will start with "hint: ".

334afbc76f tests: mark tests relying on the current default for init.defaultBranch
In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run
the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure
that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts
that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default.

To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to
force-set the default branch name to `master` in

- all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`,

- t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to
  initialize the default branch,

- t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`,

- t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also
  uses `master`)

This trick was performed by this command:

	$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\
	GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
	export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
	' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \
	t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh

After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test
scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a
specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a
comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not
actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the
aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly:

	$ git checkout HEAD -- \
		t/t0027-auto-crlf.sh t/t0060-path-utils.sh \
		t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \
		t/t1305-config-include.sh t/t1309-early-config.sh \

		t/t7508-status.sh t/t7606-merge-custom.sh \
		t/t9302-fast-import-unpack-limit.sh

We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range
of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote
branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the
default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests
actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were
modified thusly:

	$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\
	GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
	export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
	' t/t980[0167]*.sh t/t9811*.sh

c76b84a121 t: don't spuriously close and reopen quotes
In the test scripts, the recommended style is, e.g.:

    test_expect_success 'name' '
        do-something somehow &&
        do-some-more testing
    '

When using this style, any single quote in the multi-line test section
is actually closing the lone single quotes that surround it.

It can be a non-issue in practice:

    test_expect_success 'sed a little' '
        sed -e 's/hi/lo/' in >out # "ok": no whitespace in s/hi/lo/
    '

Or it can be a bug in the test, e.g., because variable interpolation
happens before the test even begins executing:

    v=abc

    test_expect_success 'variable interpolation' '
        v=def &&
        echo '"$v"' # abc
    '

Change several such in-test single quotes to use double quotes instead
or, in a few cases, drop them altogether. These were identified using
some crude grepping. We're not fixing any test bugs here, but we're
hopefully making these tests slightly easier to grok and to maintain.

There are legitimate use cases for closing a quote and opening a new
one, e.g., both '\'' and '"'"' can be used to produce a literal single
quote. I'm not touching any of those here.

In t9401, tuck the redirecting ">" to the filename while we're touching
those lines.

2c9e125b27 t: teach test_cmp_rev to accept ! for not-equals
In the case where we are using test_cmp_rev() to report not-equals, we
write `! test_cmp_rev`. However, since test_cmp_rev() contains

	r1=$(git rev-parse --verify "$1") &&
	r2=$(git rev-parse --verify "$2") &&

`! test_cmp_rev` will succeed if any of the rev-parses fail. This
behavior is not desired. We want the rev-parses to _always_ be
successful.

Rewrite test_cmp_rev() to optionally accept "!" as the first argument to
do a not-equals comparison. Rewrite `! test_cmp_rev` to `test_cmp_rev !`
in all tests to take advantage of this new functionality.

Also, rewrite the rev-parse logic to end with a `|| return 1` instead of
&&-chaining into the rev-comparison logic. This makes it obvious to
future readers that we explicitly intend on returning early if either of
the rev-parses fail.

fd53b7ffd1 merge-recursive: improve add_cacheinfo error handling
Four closely related changes all with the purpose of fixing error handling
in this function:
  - fix reported function name in add_cacheinfo error messages
  - differentiate between the two error messages
  - abort early when we hit the error (stop ignoring return code)
  - mark a test which was hitting this error as failing until we get the
    right fix

In more detail...

In commit 0424138d57 ("Fix bogus error message from merge-recursive
error path", 2007-04-01), it was noted that the name of the function which
the error message claimed it was reported from did not match the actual
function name.  This was changed to something closer to the real function
name, but it still didn't match the actual function name.  Fix the
reported name to match.

Second, the two errors in this function had identical messages, preventing
us from knowing which error had been triggered.  Add a couple words to the
second error message to differentiate the two.

Next, make sure callers do not ignore the return code so that it will stop
processing further entries (processing further entries could result in
more output which could cause the error to scroll off the screen, or at
least be missed by the user) and make it clear the error is the cause of
the early abort.  These errors should never be triggered in production; if
either one is, it represents a bug in the calling path somewhere and is
likely to have resulted in mis-merged content.  The combination of
ignoring of the return code and continuing to print other standard
messages after hitting the error resulted in the following bug report from
Junio: "...the command pretends that everything went well and merged
cleanly in that path...[Behaving] in a buggy and unexplainable way is bad
enough, doing so silently is unexcusable."  Fix this.

Finally, there was one test in the testsuite that did hit this error path,
but was passing anyway.  This would have been easy to miss since it had a
test_must_fail and thus could have failed for the wrong reason, but in a
separate testing step I added an intentional NULL-dereference to the
codepath where these error messages are printed in order to flush out such
cases.  I could modify that test to explicitly check for this error and
fail the test if it is hit, but since this test operates in a bit of a
gray area and needed other changes, I went for a different fix.  The gray
area this test operates in is the following: If the merge of a certain
file results in the same version of the file that existed in HEAD, but
there are dirty modifications to the file, is that an error with a
"Refusing to overwrite existing file" expected, or a case where the merge
should succeed since we shouldn't have to touch the dirty file anyway?
Recent discussion on the list leaned towards saying it should be a
success.  Therefore, change the expected behavior of this test to match.
As a side effect, this makes the failed-due-to-hitting-add_cacheinfo-error
very clear, and we can mark the test as test_expect_failure.  A subsequent
commit will implement the necessary changes to get this test to pass
again.

7c5585ff48 Tighten and correct a few testcases for merging and cherry-picking
t3501 had a testcase originally added in 05f2dfb965 (cherry-pick:
demonstrate a segmentation fault, 2016-11-26) to ensure cherry-pick
wouldn't segfault when working with a dirty file involved in a rename.
While the segfault was fixed, there was another problem this test
demonstrated: namely, that git would overwrite a dirty file involved in a
rename.  Further, the test encoded a "successful merge" and overwriting of
this file as correct behavior.  Modify the test so that it would still
catch the segfault, but to require the correct behavior.  Mark it as
test_expect_failure for now too, since this second bug is not yet fixed.

t7607 had a test added in 30fd3a5425 (merge overwrites unstaged changes in
renamed file, 2012-04-15) specific to looking for a merge overwriting a
dirty file involved in a rename, but it too actually encoded what I would
term incorrect behavior: it expected the merge to succeed.  Fix that, and
add a few more checks to make sure that the merge really does produce the
expected results.

d644c5502f cherry-pick: handle "-" after parsing options
Currently, we only try converting argv[1] from "-" into "@{-1}".  This
means we do not notice "-" when used together with an option.  Worse,
when "git cherry-pick" is run with no options, we segfault.  Fix this
by doing the substitution after we have checked that there is
something in argv to cherry-pick and know any remaining options are
meant for the revision-listing machinery.

This still does not handle "-" after the first non-cherry-pick option.
For example,

	git cherry-pick foo~2 - bar~5

and

	git cherry-pick --no-merges -

will still dump usage.

08092082b7 Merge branch 'hu/cherry-pick-previous-branch'
Just like "git checkout -" knows to check out and "git merge -"
knows to merge the branch you were previously on, "git cherry-pick"
now understands "git cherry-pick -" to pick from the previous
branch.

182d7dc46b cherry-pick: allow "-" as abbreviation of '@{-1}'
"-" abbreviation is handy for "cherry-pick" like "checkout" and "merge".

It's also good for uniformity that a "-" stands as
the name of the previous branch where a branch name is
accepted and it could not mean any other things like stdin.

334ae39745 learn to pick/revert into unborn branch
cherry-picking into an unborn branch should work, so make it work,
with or without --ff.

Cherry-picking anything other than a commit that only adds files, will
naturally result in conflicts. Similarly, revert also works, but will
result in conflicts unless the specified revision only deletes files.

of porcelain such as "git cherry-pick".

Without this change, a cherry-pick after copying a worktree with rsync
errors out with a misleading message.

	error: Your local changes to 'file.h' would be overwritten by merge.  Aborting.
	Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.

643cb5f7c9 commit: use value of GIT_REFLOG_ACTION env variable as reflog message
The environment variable GIT_REFLOG_ACTION was used by git-commit.sh,
but when it was converted to a builtin
(f5bbc3225c, Port git commit to C,
Nov 8 2007) this was lost.

Let's use it again as it is more user friendly when reverting or
cherry-picking to see "revert" or "cherry-pick" in the reflog rather
than to just see "commit".

d38a30df7d Be more user-friendly when refusing to do something because of conflict.
Various commands refuse to run in the presence of conflicts (commit,
merge, pull, cherry-pick/revert). They all used to provide rough, and
inconsistant error messages.

A new variable advice.resolveconflict is introduced, and allows more
verbose messages, pointing the user to the appropriate solution.

For commit, the error message used to look like this:

$ git commit
foo.txt: needs merge
foo.txt: unmerged (c34a92682e0394bc0d6f4d4a67a8e2d32395c169)
foo.txt: unmerged (3afcd75de8de0bb5076942fcb17446be50451030)
foo.txt: unmerged (c9785d77b76dfe4fb038bf927ee518f6ae45ede4)
error: Error building trees

The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN
option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain
commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error
message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(),
which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict.

The new output looks like:

U       foo.txt
fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as
appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'.

Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD
exists instead of waiting for merge to complain.

The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect
the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of
MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

944019c8b3 t3501: check that commits are actually done
The basic idea of t3501 is to check whether revert
and cherry-pick works on renamed files.
But as there is no pure cherry-pick/revert test, it is
good to also check if commits are actually done in that
scenario.

0f2d4476c1 revert: actually check for a dirty index
The previous code mistakenly used wt_status_prepare to check whether the
index had anything commitable in it; however, that function is just an
init function, and will never report a dirty index.

The correct way with wt_status_* would be to call wt_status_print with the
output pointing to /dev/null or similar. However, that does extra work by
both examining the working tree and spewing status information to nowhere.

Instead, let's just implement the useful subset of wt_status_print as an
"is_index_dirty" function.
