If the user skips the final commit by removing all the changes from
the index and worktree with 'git restore' (or read-tree) and then runs
'git rebase --continue' .git/MERGE_MSG is left behind. This will seed
the commit message the next time the user commits which is not what we

Fix a bug in how --no-reschedule-failed-exec interacts with
rebase.rescheduleFailedExec=true being set in the config. Before this
change the --no-reschedule-failed-exec config option would be
overridden by the config.
This bug happened because of the particulars of how "rebase" works
v.s. most other git commands when it comes to parsing options and
config:
When we read the config and parse the CLI options we correctly prefer
the --no-reschedule-failed-exec option over
rebase.rescheduleFailedExec=true in the config. So far so good.
However the --reschedule-failed-exec option doesn't take effect when
the rebase starts (we'd just create a
".git/rebase-merge/reschedule-failed-exec" file if it was true). It
only takes effect when the exec command fails, at which point we'll
reschedule the failed "exec" command.
Since we only wrote out the positive
".git/rebase-merge/reschedule-failed-exec" under
--reschedule-failed-exec, but nothing with --no-reschedule-failed-exec
we'll forget that we asked not to reschedule failed "exec", and would
happily re-read the config and see that
rebase.rescheduleFailedExec=true is set.
So the config will effectively override the user having explicitly
disabled the option on the command-line.
Even more confusingly: Since rebase accepts different options based on
its state there wasn't even a way to get around this with "rebase
--continue --no-reschedule-failed-exec" (but you could of course set
the config with "rebase -c ...").
I think the least bad way out of this is to declare that for such
options and config whatever we decide at the beginning of the rebase
goes. So we'll now always create either a "reschedule-failed-exec" or
a "no-reschedule-failed-exec file at the start, not just the former if
we decided we wanted the feature.
With this new worldview you can no longer change the setting once a
rebase has started except by manually removing the state files
discussed above. I think making it work like that is the the least
confusing thing we can do.
In the future we might want to learn to change the setting in the
middle by combining "--edit-todo" with
"--[no-]reschedule-failed-exec", we currently don't support combining
those options, or any other way to change the state in the middle of
the rebase short of manually editing the files in
".git/rebase-merge/*".
The bug being fixed here originally came about because of a
combination of the behavior of the code added in d421afa0c6 (rebase:
introduce --reschedule-failed-exec, 2018-12-10) and the addition of
the config variable in 969de3ff0e (rebase: add a config option to
default to --reschedule-failed-exec, 2018-12-10).

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 \

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\

This patch was contributed only as a tentative "we could introduce a

in the long run" patch, opening the discussion whether other people
agree with deprecating the current behavior in favor of the rescheduling
behavior.
But the consensus on the Git mailing list was that it would make sense
to show a warning in the near future, and flip the default
rebase.rescheduleFailedExec to reschedule failed `exec` commands by
default. See e.g.

A common use case for the `--exec` option is to verify that each commit

However, when an `exec` in such a rebase fails, it is not re-scheduled,

In preparation to the day when we can deprecate and remove the

t3418: decouple test cases from a previous `rebase -p` test case

The `--preserve-merges` mode of the `rebase` command is slated to be
deprecated soon, as the more powerful `--rebase-merges` mode is
available now, and the latter was designed with the express intent to

inability to reorder commits in an interactive rebase).
As such, we will eventually even remove the `--preserve-merges` support,
and along with it, its tests.
In preparation for this, and also to allow the Windows phase of our
automated tests to save some well-needed time when running the test
suite, this commit introduces a new prerequisite REBASE_P, which can be
forced to being unmet by setting the environment variable

It is in general a good idea for regression test cases to be as
independent of each other as possible (with the one exception of an
initial `setup` test case, which is only a test case in Git's test suite
because it does not have a notion of a fixture or setup).
This patch addresses one particular instance of this principle being
violated: a few test cases in t3418-rebase-continue.sh depend on a side
effect of a test case that verifies a specific `rebase -p` behavior. The
later test cases should, however, still succeed even if the `rebase -p`
test case is skipped.

The 'edit' command can be used to cherry-pick a commit and then
immediately drop out of the interactive rebase, with exit code 0, to let
the user amend the commit, or test it, or look around.
Sometimes this functionality would come in handy *without*
cherry-picking a commit, e.g. to interrupt the interactive rebase even
before cherry-picking a commit, or immediately after an 'exec' or a
'merge'.

git-rebase.sh wrote strategy options to .git/rebase/merge/strategy_opts

Note the double spaces.
git-rebase--interactive uses sequencer.c to parse that file, and
sequencer.c used split_cmdline() to get the individual strategy options.
After splitting, sequencer.c prefixed each "option" with a double dash,
so, concatenating all its options would result in:
-- --ours -- --renormalize
So, when it ended up calling try_merge_strategy(), that in turn would run
git merge-$strategy -- --ours -- --renormalize $merge_base -- $head $remote
instead of the expected/desired
git merge-$strategy --ours --renormalize $merge_base -- $head $remote
Remove the extra spaces so that when it goes through split_cmdline() we end

"git rebase -i" sometimes left intermediate "# This is a

inside an editor in the final result in certain corner cases, which
has been fixed.
* js/rebase-i-clean-msg-after-fixup-continue:
rebase --skip: clean up commit message after a failed fixup/squash
sequencer: always commit without editing when asked for
rebase -i: Handle "combination of <n> commits" with GETTEXT_POISON
rebase -i: demonstrate bugs with fixup!/squash! commit messages
During a series of fixup/squash commands, the interactive rebase builds
up a commit message with comments. This will be presented to the user in
the editor if at least one of those commands was a `squash`.
In any case, the commit message will be cleaned up eventually, removing
all those intermediate comments, in the final step of such a
fixup/squash chain.
However, if the last fixup/squash command in such a chain fails with
merge conflicts, and if the user then decides to skip it (or resolve it
to a clean worktree and then continue the rebase), the current code
fails to clean up the commit message.
This commit fixes that behavior.
The fix is quite a bit more involved than meets the eye because it is
not only about the question whether we are `git rebase --skip`ing a
fixup or squash. It is also about removing the skipped fixup/squash's
commit message from the accumulated commit message. And it is also about
the question whether we should let the user edit the final commit
message or not ("Was there a squash in the chain *that was not
skipped*?").
For example, in this case we will want to fix the commit message, but
not open it in an editor:
pick <- succeeds
fixup <- succeeds
squash <- fails, will be skipped
This is where the newly-introduced `current-fixups` file comes in real
handy. A quick look and we can determine whether there was a non-skipped
squash. We only need to make sure to keep it up to date with respect to
skipped fixup/squash commands. As a bonus, we can even avoid committing
unnecessarily, e.g. when there was only one fixup, and it failed, and
was skipped.
To fix only the bug where the final commit message was not cleaned up
properly, but without fixing the rest, would have been more complicated
than fixing it all in one go, hence this commit lumps together more than
a single concern.
For the same reason, this commit also adds a bit more to the existing
test case for the regression we just fixed.
