c214538416 rebase -i: teach "--exec <cmd>"
During an interactive rebase session, it is sometimes desirable to
run tests on each commit in the resulting history.  This can be done
by adding "exec <test command>" when editing the insn sheet, but the
command used for testing is often the same for all resulting commits.

By passing "--exec <cmd>" from the command line, automatically add
these "exec" lines after each commit in the final history.  To work
well with the --autosquash option, these are added at the end of
each run of "fixup" and "squash".

9180feafbc rebase: report invalid commit correctly
In 9765b6a (rebase: align variable content, 2011-02-06), the code
to error out was moved up one level. Unfortunately, one reference
to a function parameter wasn't rewritten as it should, leading to
the wrong parameter being errored on.

This error was propagated by 71786f5 (rebase: factor out reference
parsing, 2011-02-06) and merged in 78c6e0f (Merge branch
'mz/rebase', 2011-04-28).

Correct this by reporting $onto_name istead.

8a6dae108e Do not autosquash in case of an implied interactive rebase
The option to autosquash is only used in case of an interactive rebase.
When merges are preserved, rebase uses an interactive rebase internally,
but in this case autosquash should still be disabled.

90e1818f9a git-rebase: add keep_empty flag
Add a command line switch to git-rebase to allow a user the ability to specify
that they want to keep any commits in a series that are empty.

When git-rebase's type is am, then this option will automatically keep any
commit that has a tree object identical to its parent.

This patch changes the default behavior of interactive rebases as well.  With
this patch, git-rebase -i will produce a revision set passed to
git-revision-editor, in which empty commits are commented out.  Empty commits
may be kept manually by uncommenting them.  If the new --keep-empty option is
used in an interactive rebase the empty commits will automatically all be
uncommented in the editor.

3c02396adc Make git-{pull,rebase} message without tracking information friendlier
The current message is too long and at too low a level for anybody
to understand it if they don't know about the configuration format
already.

The text about setting up a remote is superfluous and doesn't help
understand or recover from the error that has happened.  Show the
usage more prominently and explain how to set up the tracking
information. If there is only one remote, that name is used instead
of the generic <remote>.

Also simplify the message we print on detached HEAD to remove
unnecessary information which is better left for the documentation.

035b5bf643 pull,rebase: handle GIT_WORK_TREE better
You can't currently run git-pull or git-rebase from outside
of the work tree, even with GIT_WORK_TREE set, due to an
overeager require_work_tree function. Commit e2eb527
documents this problem and provides the infrastructure for a
fix, but left it to later commits to audit and update
individual scripts.

Changing these scripts to use require_work_tree_exists is
easy to verify. We immediately call cd_to_toplevel, anyway.
Therefore no matter which function we use, the state
afterwards is one of:

  1. We have a work tree, and we are at the top level.

  2. We don't have a work tree, and we have died.

The only catch is that we must also make sure no code that
ran before the cd_to_toplevel assumed that we were already
in the working tree.

In this case, we will only have included shell libraries and
called set_reflog_action, neither of which care about the
current working directory at all.

5960bc9d63 rebase: clarify "restore the original branch"
The description for 'git rebase --abort' currently says:

    Restore the original branch and abort the rebase operation.

The "restore" can be misinterpreted to imply that the original branch
was somehow in a broken state during the rebase operation. It is also
not completely clear what "the original branch" is --- is it the
branch that was checked out before the rebase operation was called or
is the the branch that is being rebased (it is the latter)? Although
both issues are made clear in the DESCRIPTION section, let us also
make the entry in the OPTIONS secion more clear.

Also remove the term "rebasing process" from the usage text, since the
user already knows that the text is about "git rebase".

34840db834 rebase: do not print lots of usage hints after an obvious error message
When a non-existent branch was specified to be rebased, the complete
usage information is printed after the error message that carries the
relevant piece of information:

   $ git rebase master topci
   fatal: no such branch: topci
   usage: git rebase [-i] [options] [--onto <newbase>] [<upstream>] [<branch>]
      or: git rebase [-i] [options] --onto <newbase> --root [<branch>]
      or: git-rebase [-i] --continue | --abort | --skip

   Available options are
   [30 lines of usage stripped]

The error message was introduced recently by 4ac5356c (rebase: give a
better error message for bogus branch, 2011-01-27), and the result was
acceptable because the usage text was just two lines. But 45e2acf3
(rebase: define options in OPTIONS_SPEC, 2011-02-28) made things worse
because the usage text is now 35 lines.

Just drop the usage information because it does not add value to the
error message.

53f2ffa80c rebase: write a reflog entry when finishing
When we finish a rebase, our detached HEAD is at the final
result. We update the original branch ref with this result,
and then point the HEAD symbolic ref at the updated branch.
We write a reflog for the branch update, but not for the
update of HEAD.

Because we're already at the final result on the detached
HEAD, moving to the branch actually doesn't change our
commit sha1 at all. So in that sense, a reflog entry would
be pointless.

However, humans do read reflogs, and an entry saying "rebase
finished: returning to refs/heads/master" can be helpful in
understanding what is going on.

45e2acf3d3 rebase: define options in OPTIONS_SPEC
Interactive rebase used to have its own command line processing. Since
it used the 'git rev-parse --parseopt' functionality exposed through
git-sh-setup, it had some flexibility, like matching prefixes of long
options, that non-interactive rebase didn't. When interactive rebase's
command line processing was factored out into git-rebase.sh in cf432ca
(rebase: factor out command line option processing, 2011-02-06), this
flexibility was lost. Give back that flexibility to interactive and
non-interactive by defining its options in OPTIONS_SPEC.

Also improve the usage message to contain the --continue, --skip and
--abort sub commands.

15a147e618 rebase: use @{upstream} if no upstream specified
'git rebase' without arguments is currently not supported. 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.

Defaulting to @{upstream} will make it possible to run e.g. 'git
rebase -i' without arguments, which is probably a quite common use
case. It also improves the scenario where you have multiple branches
that rebase against a remote-tracking branch, where you currently have
to choose between the extra network delay of 'git pull' or the
slightly awkward keys to enter 'git rebase @{u}'.

The error reporting when no upstream is configured for the current
branch or when no branch is checked out is reused from git-pull.sh. A
function is extracted into git-parse-remote.sh for this purpose.

84df4560ed rebase: extract code for writing basic state
Extract the code for writing the state to rebase-apply/ or
rebase-merge/ when a rebase is initiated. This will make it easier to
later make both interactive and non-interactive rebase remember the
options used.

Note that non-interactive rebase stores the sha1 of the original head
in a file called orig-head, while interactive rebase stores it in a
file called head. Change this by writing to orig-head in both
cases. When reading, try to read from orig-head. If that fails, read
from head instead. This protects users who upgraded git while they had
an ongoing interactive rebase, while still making it possible to
remove the code that reads from head at some point in the future.

99de0640f2 rebase: improve detection of rebase in progress
Detect early on if a rebase is in progress and what type of rebase it
is (interactive, merge-based or am-based). This prepares for further
refactoring where am-based rebase will be dispatched to
git-rebase--am.sh and merge-based rebase will be dispatched to
git-rebase--merge.sh.

The idea is to use the same variables whether the type of rebase was
detected from rebase-apply/ or rebase-merge/ directories or from the
command line options. This will make the code more readable and will
later also make it easier to dispatch to the type-specific scripts.

Also show a consistent error message independent of the type of rebase
that was in progress and remove the obsolete wording about being in
the middle of a 'patch application', since that (an existing
"$GIT_DIR"/rebase-apply/applying) aborts 'git rebase' at an earlier
stage.

introduce additional state. Extract this code into one method that
reads the state. Only extract the code associated with the state that
is written when the rebase is initiated. Leave the state that changes
for each commmit, at least for now.

Currently, when resuming a merge-based rebase using --continue or
--skip, move_to_original_branch (via finish_rb_merge) will be called
without head_name and orig_head set. These variables are then lazily
read in move_to_original_branch if head_name is not set (together with
onto, which is unnecessarily read again). Change this by always
eagerly reading the state, for both am-based and merge-based rebase,
in the --continue and --skip cases. Note that this does not change the
behavior for am-based rebase, which read the state eagerly even before
this commit.

Reading the state eagerly means that part of the state will sometimes
be read unnecessarily. One example is when the rebase is continued,
but stops again at another merge conflict. Another example is when the
rebase is aborted. However, since both of these cases involve user
interaction, the delay is hopefully not noticeable. The
call_merge/continue_merge loop is not affected.

3b21a438c9 rebase: use explicit "--" with checkout
In the case of a ref/pathname conflict, checkout will
already do the right thing and checkout the ref. However,
for a non-existant ref, this has two advantages:

  1. If a file with that pathname exists, rebase will
     refresh the file from the index and then rebase the
     current branch instead of producing an error.

  2. If no such file exists, the error message using an
     explicit "--" is better:

       # before
       $ git rebase -i origin bogus
       error: pathspec 'bogus' did not match any file(s) known to git.
       Could not checkout bogus

       # after
       $ git rebase -i origin bogus
       fatal: invalid reference: bogus
       Could not checkout bogus

The problems seem to be trigger-able only through "git
rebase -i", as regular git-rebase checks the validity of the
branch parameter as a ref very early on. However, it doesn't
hurt to be defensive.

Sadly we have to do the full quoting/eval dance here, since

contains whitespace.

strategy directly except in --preserve-merges, and even then only for

When performing a non-interactive rebase, sometimes
"git rebase --continue" will fail if an unmodified file is

    You must edit all merge conflicts and then
    mark them as resolved using git add

This is caused by "git diff-files" reporting a difference
between the index and the filesystem:

    :100644 100644 d00491...... 000000...... M	file

840b3ca758 rebase: protect against diff.renames configuration
We currently do not disable diff.renames configuration while rebase
internally runs "format-patch" to feed "am -3".

The end user configuration for "diff" should not affect the result
produced by the higher level command that is related to "diff" only
because internally it is implemented in terms of it.

For that matter, I have a feeling that format-patch should not even look
at diff.renames, but we seem to have been doing this for a long time so
there is no easy way to fix this thinko.

In any case, here is a much straightforward fix for "rebase".

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.

The only small issue with both is that they need to remember the

already puts this information in $dotest/current, and we just
introduce a similar file for git-am.

Note that in git-am, the hook really only runs when coming from

is guarded by a test for $dotest/rebasing.

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.

61dfa1bb67 "rebase --onto A...B" replays history on the merge base between A and B
This is in spirit similar to "checkout A...B".  To re-queue a new set of

on the same base as before, you would do something like this:

    $ git checkout next^0
    $ git am -s rerolled-series.mbox
    $ git rebase --onto next...jh/notes next

The first two commands recreates commits to be rebased as the original
author intended (i.e. applies directly on top of 'next'), and the rebase
command replays that history on top of the same commit the series being
replaced was built on (which is typically much older than the tip of
'next').

190f53232d rebase: learn to rebase root commit
Teach git-rebase a new option --root, which instructs it to rebase the
entire history leading up to <branch>.  This option must be used with
--onto <newbase>, and causes commits that already exist in <newbase>
to be skipped.  (Normal operation skips commits that already exist in
<upstream> instead.)

One possible use-case is with git-svn: suppose you start hacking
(perhaps offline) on a new project, but later notice you want to
commit this work to SVN.  You will have to rebase the entire history,
including the root commit, on a (possibly empty) commit coming from
git-svn, to establish a history connection.  This previously had to
be done by cherry-picking the root commit manually.

07e62b733f rebase: improve error messages about dirty state
If you have unstaged changes in your working tree and try to
rebase, you will get the cryptic "foo: needs update"
message, but nothing else.  If you have staged changes, you
get "your index is not up-to-date".

Let's improve this situation in two ways:

 - for unstaged changes, let's also tell them we are
   canceling the rebase, and why (in addition to the "needs
   update" lines)

 - for the staged changes case, let's use language that is a
   little more clear to the user: their index contains
   uncommitted changes

f8cca019b9 rebase: Support preserving merges in non-interactive mode
As a result of implementation details, 'git rebase' could
previously only preserve merges in interactive mode. That
limitation was hard for users to understand and awkward to
explain.

This patch works around it by running the interactive rebase
helper git-rebase--interactive with GIT_EDITOR set to ':'
when the user passes "-p" but not "-i" to the rebase command.
The effect is that the interactive rebase helper is used but
the user never sees an editor.

The test-case included in this patch was originally written
by Stephen Habermann <stephen@exigencecorp.com>, but has
been extensively modified since its creation.

If .git/rebase-merge or .git/rebase-apply/rebasing exists, git-rebase

saying that git-am is in progress, regardless how many arguments are

22e407951e Teach "am" and "rebase" to mark the original position with ORIG_HEAD
"merge" and "reset" leave the original point in history in ORIG_HEAD,

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.

0cb06644a5 rebase [--onto O] A B: omit needless checkout
This teaches "git rebase [--onto O] A B" to omit an unnecessary checkout
of branch B before it goes on.

"git-rebase" originally was about rebasing the current branch to somewhere
else, and when the extra parameter to name which branch to rebase was
added, it defined the semantics to the safest but stupid "first switch to
the named branch and then operate exactly the same way as if we were
already on that branch".

But the first thing the real part of "rebase" does is to reset the work
tree and the index to the "onto" commit.  Which means the "rebase that
branch" form switched the work tree to the tip of the branch only to
immediately switch again to another commit.  This was wasteful.

When rebasing changes that contain issues that the pre-commit hook flags
as problematic, the rebase cannot be continued.  However, rebase is about
transplanting commits that are already made with as little distortion as
possible, and pre-commit check should not interfere.

Earlier, c5b09fe (Avoid update hook during git-rebase --interactive,

A lot of shell scripts contained stuff starting with

	while case "$#" in 0) break ;; esac

and similar.  I consider breaking out of the condition instead of the
body od the loop ugly, and the implied "true" value of the
non-matching case is not really obvious to humans at first glance.  It
happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's
because they are not POSIX-compliant.  In most cases, this has been
replaced by a straight condition using "test".  "case" has the
advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test"
is not a builtin.  Since none of them is likely to run the git
scripts, anyway, the added readability should be worth the change.

A few loops have had their termination condition expressed
differently.

      A--B--Z        <- topic

then 'git rebase -m master' would report:

    Already applied: 0001 Y
    Already applied: 0002 Y

With this fix it reports the expected:

    Already applied: 0001 A
    Already applied: 0002 B

As an added bonus, this change also avoids 'echo' of a commit message,
which might contain escapements.

b4372ef136 Enable "git rerere" by the config variable rerere.enabled
Earlier, "git rerere" was enabled by creating the directory
.git/rr-cache.  That is definitely not in line with most other
features, which are enabled by a config variable.

So, check the config variable "rerere.enabled". If it is set
to "false" explicitely, do not activate rerere, even if
.git/rr-cache exists. This should help when you want to disable
rerere temporarily.

If "rerere.enabled" is not set at all, fall back to detection
of the directory .git/rr-cache.

[jc: with minimum tweaks]

1308c17b3e Allow rebase to run if upstream is completely merged
Consider this history:

  o--o-...-B          <- origin
      \     \
       x--x--M--x--x  <- master

In this situation, rebase considers master fully up-to-date and would
not do anything. However, if there were additional commits on origin,
the rebase would run and move the commits x on top of origin.

Here we change rebase to short-circuit out only if the history since origin
is strictly linear. Consequently, the above as well as a history like this
would be linearized:

  o--o               <- origin
      \
       x--x
        \  \
         x--M--x--x  <- master

1b1dce4bae Teach rebase an interactive mode
Don't you just hate the fact sometimes, that git-rebase just applies
the patches, without any possibility to edit them, or rearrange them?
With "--interactive", git-rebase now lets you edit the list of patches,
so that you can reorder, edit and delete patches.

Such a list will typically look like this:

	pick deadbee The oneline of this commit
	pick fa1afe1 The oneline of the next commit
	...

By replacing the command "pick" with the command "edit", you can amend
that patch and/or its commit message, and by replacing it with "squash"
you can tell rebase to fold that patch into the patch before that.

It is derived from the script sent to the list in
<Pine.LNX.4.63.0702252156190.22628@wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de>

fefe49d134 Add colour support in rebase and merge tree diff stats output.
The rebase and merge commands used diff-tree to display the summary stats of
what files had changed from the operation. diff-tree does not read the
diff ui configuration options, so the diff.color setting was not used.

Have rebase and merge call diff rather than diff-tree, which does read the
diff ui options.

a1bf91e081 git-rebase: make 'rebase HEAD branch' work as expected.
When you want to amend the commit message of 3 commits before
the tip of the current branch, say 'master',

	A--B--C--D--E(master)

it is sometimes handy to make your head detached at that commit
with:

	$ git checkout HEAD~3 ;# check out B
	$ git commit --amend ;# without modifying contents...

to create:

          .B'(HEAD)
         /
	A--B--C--D--E(master)

and then rebase 'master' branch onto HEAD with this:

	$ git rebase HEAD master

to result in:

          .B'-C'-D'-E(master=HEAD)
         /
	A--B--C--D--E

However, the current code interprets HEAD after it switches to
the branch 'master', which means the rebase will not do
anything.  You have to say something unwieldly like this
instead:

	$ git rebase $(git rev-parse HEAD) master

This fixes it by expanding the $onto commit name before
switching to the target branch.

533b70390e Allow whole-tree operations to be started from a subdirectory
This updates five commands (merge, pull, rebase, revert and cherry-pick)
so that they can be started from a subdirectory.

This may not actually be what we want to do.  These commands are
inherently whole-tree operations, and an inexperienced user may
mistakenly expect a "git pull" from a subdirectory would merge
only the subdirectory the command started from.

7eff28a9b4 Disallow working directory commands in a bare repository.
If the user tries to run a porcelainish command which requires
a working directory in a bare repository they may get unexpected
results which are difficult to predict and may differ from command
to command.

Instead we should detect that the current repository is a bare
repository and refuse to run the command there, as there is no
working directory associated with it.
