"git rebase -i" learns a bit more options. * pw/rebase-i-more-options: t3436: do not run git-merge-recursive in dashed form rebase: add --reset-author-date rebase -i: support --ignore-date rebase -i: support --committer-date-is-author-date am: stop exporting GIT_COMMITTER_DATE rebase -i: add --ignore-whitespace flag
2020-08-19rebase: add --reset-author-dateLibravatar Rohit Ashiwal1-1/+3
The previous commit introduced --ignore-date flag to rebase -i, but the name is rather vague as it does not say whether the author date or the committer date is ignored. Add an alias to convey the precise purpose. Helped-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Rohit Ashiwal <rohit.ashiwal265@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-08-19rebase -i: support --ignore-dateLibravatar Phillip Wood1-5/+8
Rebase is implemented with two different backends - 'apply' and 'merge' each of which support a different set of options. In particular the apply backend supports a number of options implemented by 'git am' that are not implemented in the merge backend. This means that the available options are different depending on which backend is used which is confusing. This patch adds support for the --ignore-date option to the merge backend. This option uses the current time as the author date rather than reusing the original author date when rewriting commits. We take care to handle the combination of --ignore-date and --committer-date-is-author-date in the same way as the apply backend.

2020-07-30strvec: rename struct fieldsLibravatar Jeff King1-8/+8
The "argc" and "argv" names made sense when the struct was argv_array, but now they're just confusing. Let's rename them to "nr" (which we use for counts elsewhere) and "v" (which is rather terse, but reads well when combined with typical variable names like "args.v"). Note that we have to update all of the callers immediately. Playing tricks with the preprocessor is hard here, because we wouldn't want to rewrite unrelated tokens.

2020-07-28strvec: fix indentation in renamed callsLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+7
Code which split an argv_array call across multiple lines, like: argv_array_pushl(&args, "one argument", "another argument", "and more", NULL); was recently mechanically renamed to use strvec, which results in mis-matched indentation like: strvec_pushl(&args, "one argument", "another argument", "and more", NULL); Let's fix these up to align the arguments with the opening paren. I did this manually by sifting through the results of: git jump grep 'strvec_.*,$' and liberally applying my editor's auto-format. Most of the changes are of the form shown above, though I also normalized a few that had originally used a single-tab indentation (rather than our usual style of aligning with the open paren). I also rewrapped a couple of obvious cases (e.g., where previously too-long lines became short enough to fit on one), but I wasn't aggressive about it. In cases broken to three or more lines, the grouping of arguments is sometimes meaningful, and it wasn't worth my time or reviewer time to ponder each case individually.

2020-07-28strvec: convert builtin/ callers away from argv_array nameLibravatar Jeff King1-30/+30
We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once, or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits. Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different names is OK). This patch converts all of the files in builtin/ to keep the diff to a manageable size. The conversion was done purely mechanically with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe ' s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g; s/argv_array/strvec/g; ' and then selectively staging files with "git add builtin/". We'll deal with any indentation/style fallouts separately. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2020-04-28rebase: save autostash entry into stash reflog on --quitLibravatar Denton Liu1-0/+1
In a03b55530a (merge: teach --autostash option, 2020-04-07), the --autostash option was introduced for `git merge`. Notably, when `git merge --quit` is run with an autostash entry present, it is saved into the stash reflog. This is contrasted with the current behaviour of `git rebase --quit` where the autostash entry is simply just dropped out of existence. Adopt the behaviour of `git merge --quit` in `git rebase --quit` and save the autostash entry into the stash reflog instead of just deleting it.

2020-04-28Use OPT_CALLBACK and OPT_CALLBACK_FLibravatar Denton Liu1-10/+10
In the codebase, there are many options which use OPTION_CALLBACK in a plain ol' struct definition. However, we have the OPT_CALLBACK and OPT_CALLBACK_F macros which are meant to abstract these plain struct definitions away. These macros are useful as they semantically signal to developers that these are just normal callback option with nothing fancy happening. Replace plain struct definitions of OPTION_CALLBACK with OPT_CALLBACK or OPT_CALLBACK_F where applicable. The heavy lifting was done using the following (disgusting) shell script: #!/bin/sh do_replacement () { tr '\n' '\r' | sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\s*0,\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6)/g' | sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK_F(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6,\7)/g' | tr '\r' '\n' } for f in $(git ls-files \*.c) do do_replacement <"$f" >"$f.tmp" mv "$f.tmp" "$f" done The result was manually inspected and then reformatted to match the style of the surrounding code. Finally, using `git grep OPTION_CALLBACK \*.c`, leftover results which were not handled by the script were manually transformed.

2020-04-11rebase --merge: optionally skip upstreamed commitsLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-0/+7
When rebasing against an upstream that has had many commits since the original branch was created: O -- O -- ... -- O -- O (upstream) \ -- O (my-dev-branch) it must read the contents of every novel upstream commit, in addition to the tip of the upstream and the merge base, because "git rebase" attempts to exclude commits that are duplicates of upstream ones. This can be a significant performance hit, especially in a partial clone, wherein a read of an object may end up being a fetch. Add a flag to "git rebase" to allow suppression of this feature. This flag only works when using the "merge" backend. This flag changes the behavior of sequencer_make_script(), called from do_interactive_rebase() <- run_rebase_interactive() <- run_specific_rebase() <- cmd_rebase(). With this flag, limit_list() (indirectly called from sequencer_make_script() through prepare_revision_walk()) will no longer call cherry_pick_list(), and thus PATCHSAME is no longer set. Refraining from setting PATCHSAME both means that the intermediate commits in upstream are no longer read (as shown by the test) and means that no PATCHSAME-caused skipping of commits is done by sequencer_make_script(), either directly or through make_script_with_merges().

2020-04-11rebase: reinstate --no-keep-emptyLibravatar Elijah Newren1-6/+9
Commit d48e5e21da ("rebase (interactive-backend): make --keep-empty the default", 2020-02-15) turned --keep-empty (for keeping commits which start empty) into the default. The logic underpinning that commit was: 1) 'git commit' errors out on the creation of empty commits without an override flag 2) Once someone determines that the override is worthwhile, it's annoying and/or harmful to required them to take extra steps in order to keep such commits around (and to repeat such steps with every rebase). While the logic on which the decision was made is sound, the result was a bit of an overcorrection. Instead of jumping to having --keep-empty being the default, it jumped to making --keep-empty the only available behavior. There was a simple workaround, though, which was thought to be good enough at the time. People could still drop commits which started empty the same way the could drop any commits: by firing up an interactive rebase and picking out the commits they didn't want from the list. However, there are cases where external tools might create enough empty commits that picking all of them out is painful. As such, having a flag to automatically remove start-empty commits may be beneficial. Provide users a way to drop commits which start empty using a flag that existed for years: --no-keep-empty. Interpret --keep-empty as countermanding any previous --no-keep-empty, but otherwise leaving --keep-empty as the default. This might lead to some slight weirdness since commands like git rebase --empty=drop --keep-empty git rebase --empty=keep --no-keep-empty look really weird despite making perfect sense (the first will drop commits which become empty, but keep commits that started empty; the second will keep commits which become empty, but drop commits which started empty). However, --no-keep-empty was named years ago and we are predominantly keeping it for backward compatibility; also we suspect it will only be used rarely since folks already have a simple way to drop commits they don't want with an interactive rebase.

2020-04-10merge: teach --autostash optionLibravatar Denton Liu1-2/+1
In rebase, one can pass the `--autostash` option to cause the worktree to be automatically stashed before continuing with the rebase. This option is missing in merge, however. Implement the `--autostash` option and corresponding `merge.autoStash` option in merge which stashes before merging and then pops after. This option is useful when a developer has some local changes on a topic branch but they realize that their work depends on another branch. Previously, they had to run something like git fetch ... git stash push git merge FETCH_HEAD git stash pop but now, that is reduced to git fetch ... git merge --autostash FETCH_HEAD When an autostash is generated, it is automatically reapplied to the worktree only in three explicit situations: 1. An incomplete merge is commit using `git commit`. 2. A merge completes successfully. 3. A merge is aborted using `git merge --abort`. In all other situations where the merge state is removed using remove_merge_branch_state() such as aborting a merge via `git reset --hard`, the autostash is saved into the stash reflog instead keeping the worktree clean.

The rebase version was introduced in 6defce2b02 (builtin rebase: support `--autostash` option, 2018-09-04) as part of the shell to C conversion. It opted to duplicate the function because, at the time, there was another in-progress project converting interactive rebase from shell to C as well and they did not want to clash with them by refactoring sequencer.c version of apply_autostash().

Two related changes, with separate rationale for each: Rename the 'interactive' backend to 'merge' because: * 'interactive' as a name caused confusion; this backend has been used for many kinds of non-interactive rebases, and will probably be used in the future for more non-interactive rebases than interactive ones given that we are making it the default. * 'interactive' is not the underlying strategy; merging is. * the directory where state is stored is not called .git/rebase-interactive but .git/rebase-merge. Rename the 'am' backend to 'apply' because: * Few users are familiar with git-am as a reference point. * Related to the above, the name 'am' makes sentences in the documentation harder for users to read and comprehend (they may read it as the verb from "I am"); avoiding this difficult places a large burden on anyone writing documentation about this backend to be very careful with quoting and sentence structure and often forces annoying redundancy to try to avoid such problems. * Users stumble over pronunciation ("am" as in "I am a person not a backend" or "am" as in "the first and thirteenth letters in the alphabet in order are "A-M"); this may drive confusion when one user tries to explain to another what they are doing. * While "am" is the tool driving this backend, the tool driving git-am is git-apply, and since we are driving towards lower-level tools for the naming of the merge backend we may as well do so here too. * The directory where state is stored has never been called .git/rebase-am, it was always called .git/rebase-apply. For all the reasons listed above: * Modify the documentation to refer to the backends with the new names * Provide a brief note in the documentation connecting the new names to the old names in case users run across the old names anywhere (e.g. in old release notes or older versions of the documentation) * Change the (new) --am command line flag to --apply * Rename some enums, variables, and functions to reinforce the new backend names for us as well.

2020-02-16rebase: change the default backend from "am" to "merge"Libravatar Elijah Newren1-2/+2
The am-backend drops information and thus limits what we can do: * lack of full tree information from the original commits means we cannot do directory rename detection and warn users that they might want to move some of their new files that they placed in old directories to prevent their becoming orphaned.[1] * reduction in context from only having a few lines beyond those changed means that when context lines are non-unique we can apply patches incorrectly.[2] * lack of access to original commits means that conflict marker annotation has less information available. * the am backend has safety problems with an ill-timed interrupt. Also, the merge/interactive backend have far more abilities, appear to currently have a slight performance advantage[3] and have room for more optimizations than the am backend[4] (and work is underway to take advantage of some of those possibilities).

2020-02-16rebase: drop '-i' from the reflog for interactive-based rebasesLibravatar Elijah Newren1-1/+1
A large variety of rebase types are supported by the interactive machinery, not just the explicitly interactive ones. These all share the same code and write the same reflog messages, but the "-i" moniker in those messages doesn't really have much meaning. It also becomes somewhat distracting once we switch the default from the am-backend to the interactive one. Just remove the "-i" from these messages.

2020-02-16rebase: add an --am optionLibravatar Elijah Newren1-1/+17
Currently, this option doesn't do anything except error out if any options requiring the interactive-backend are also passed. However, when we make the default backend configurable later in this series, this flag will provide a way to override the config setting.

2020-02-16rebase: allow more types of rebases to fast-forwardLibravatar Elijah Newren1-4/+14
In the past, we dis-allowed rebases using the interactive backend from performing a fast-forward to short-circuit the rebase operation. This made sense for explicitly interactive rebases and some implicitly interactive rebases, but certainly became overly stringent when the merge backend was re-implemented via the interactive backend. Just as the am-based rebase has always had to disable the fast-forward based on a variety of conditions or flags (e.g. --signoff, --whitespace, etc.), we need to do the same but now with a few more options. However, continuing to use REBASE_FORCE for tracking this is problematic because the interactive backend used it for a different purpose. (When REBASE_FORCE wasn't set, the interactive backend would not fast-forward the whole series but would fast-forward individual "pick" commits at the beginning of the todo list, and then a squash or something would cause it to start generating new commits.) So, introduce a new allow_preemptive_ff flag contained within cmd_rebase() and use it to track whether we are going to allow a pre-emptive fast-forward that short-circuits the whole rebase.

2020-02-16rebase: fix handling of restrict_revisionLibravatar Elijah Newren1-2/+2
restrict_revision in the original shell script was an excluded revision range. It is also treated that way by the am-backend. In the conversion from shell to C (see commit 6ab54d17be3f ("rebase -i: implement the logic to initialize $revisions in C", 2018-08-28)), the interactive-backend accidentally treated it as a positive revision rather than a negated one. This was missed as there were no tests in the testsuite that tested an interactive rebase with fork-point behavior.
