rebase: fast-forward --onto in more cases
Before, when we had the following graph,
A---B---C (master)
\
D (side)
running 'git rebase --onto master... master side' would result in D
being always rebased, no matter what. However, the desired behavior is
that rebase should notice that this is fast-forwardable and do that
instead.
Add detection to `can_fast_forward` so that this case can be detected
and a fast-forward will be performed. First of all, rewrite the function
to use gotos which simplifies the logic. Next, since the
options.upstream &&
!oidcmp(&options.upstream->object.oid, &options.onto->object.oid)
conditions were removed in `cmd_rebase`, we reintroduce a substitute in
`can_fast_forward`. In particular, checking the merge bases of
`upstream` and `head` fixes a failing case in t3416.
The abbreviated graph for t3416 is as follows:
F---G topic
/
A---B---C---D---E master
and the failing command was
git rebase --onto master...topic F topic
Before, Git would see that there was one merge base (C), and the merge
and onto were the same so it would incorrectly return 1, indicating that
we could fast-forward. This would cause the rebased graph to be 'ABCFG'
when we were expecting 'ABCG'.
With the additional logic, we detect that upstream and head's merge base
is F. Since onto isn't F, it means we're not rebasing the full set of
commits from master..topic. Since we're excluding some commits, a
fast-forward cannot be performed and so we correctly return 0.
Add '-f' to test cases that failed as a result of this change because
they were not expecting a fast-forward so that a rebase is forced.
