rebase -i: fix short SHA-1 collision
The 'todo' sheet for interactive rebase shows abbreviated SHA-1's and then performs its operations upon those shortened values. This can lead to an abort if the SHA-1 of a reworded or edited commit is no longer unique within the abbreviated SHA-1 space and a subsequent SHA-1 in the todo list has the same abbreviated value. For example: edit f00dfad first pick badbeef second If, after editing, the new SHA-1 of "first" also has prefix badbeef, then the subsequent 'pick badbeef second' will fail since badbeef is no longer a unique SHA-1 abbreviation: error: short SHA1 badbeef is ambiguous. fatal: Needed a single revision Invalid commit name: badbeef Fix this problem by expanding the SHA-1's in the todo list before performing the operations. [es: also collapse & expand SHA-1's for --edit-todo; respect core.commentchar in transform_todo_ids(); compose commit message] Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
