"git rebase" learned to optionally keep commits that do not introduce
any change in the original history.
By Neil Horman
* nh/empty-rebase:
git-rebase: add keep_empty flag
git-cherry-pick: Add test to validate new options

git-cherry-pick: add allow-empty option

The command line parser choked "git cherry-pick $name" when $name can be
both revision name and a pathname, even though $name can never be a path
in the context of the command.
The issue the patch addresses is real, but the way it is implemented felt
unnecessarily invasive a bit. It may be cleaner for this caller to add
the "--" to the end of the argv_array it passes to setup_revisions().

The git-cherry-pick --allow-empty command by default only preserves empty
commits that were originally empty, i.e only those commits for which
<commit>^{tree} and <commit>^^{tree} are equal. By default commits which are
non-empty, but were made empty by the inclusion of a prior commit on the current
history are filtered out. This option allows us to override that behavior and
include redundant commits as empty commits in the change history.
Note that this patch changes the default behavior of git cherry-pick slightly.
Prior to this patch all commits in a cherry-pick sequence were applied and git
commit was run. The implication here was that, if a commit was redundant, and
the commit did not trigger the fast forward logic, the git commit operation, and
therefore the git cherry-pick operation would fail, displaying the cherry pick
advice (i.e. run git commit --allow-empty). With this patch however, such
redundant commits are automatically skipped without stopping, unless
--keep-redundant-commits is specified, in which case, they are automatically
applied as empty commits.

If a commit-ish passed to cherry-pick or revert happens to have a file
of the same name, git complains that the argument is ambiguous and
advises to use '--'. To make things worse, the '--' argument is removed
by parse_options, und so passing '--' has no effect.
Instead, always interpret cherry-pick/revert arguments as revisions.

git cherry-pick fails when picking a non-ff commit that is empty. The advice
given with the failure is that a git-commit --allow-empty should be issued to
explicitly add the empty commit during the cherry pick. This option allows a
user to specify before hand that they want to keep the empty commit. This
eliminates the need to issue both a cherry pick and a commit operation.

Expose the cherry-picking machinery through a public
sequencer_pick_revisions() (renamed from pick_revisions() in
builtin/revert.c), so that cherry-picking and reverting are special
cases of a general sequencer operation. The cherry-pick builtin is
now a thin wrapper that does command-line argument parsing before
calling into sequencer_pick_revisions(). In the future, we can write
a new "foo" builtin that calls into the sequencer like:
memset(&opts, 0, sizeof(opts));
opts.action = REPLAY_FOO;
opts.revisions = xmalloc(sizeof(*opts.revs));
parse_args_populate_opts(argc, argv, &opts);
init_revisions(opts.revs);
sequencer_pick_revisions(&opts);
This patch does not intend to make any functional changes. Check
with:
$ git blame -s -C HEAD^..HEAD -- sequencer.c | grep -C3 '^[^^]'

unnecessary memory allocations by using find_commit_subject() instead.
Also, remove the unnecessary check on cur->item->buffer: the

Change the instruction sheet format subtly so that the subject of the
commit message that follows the object name is optional. As a result,
an instruction sheet like this is now perfectly valid:
pick 35b0426
pick fbd5bbcbc2e
pick 7362160f
While at it, also fix a bug introduced by 5a5d80f4 (revert: Introduce
--continue to continue the operation, 2011-08-04) that failed to read
lines that are too long to fit on the commit-id-shaped buffer we
currently use; eliminate the need for the buffer altogether. In
addition to literal SHA-1 hexes, you can now safely use expressions

As v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~4 (2011-08-04) explains, git cherry-pick removes
the sequencer state just before applying the final patch. In the
single-pick case, that was a good thing, since --abort and --continue
work fine without access to such state and removing it provides a
signal that git should not complain about the need to clobber it ("a
cherry-pick or revert is already in progress") in sequences like the
following:
git cherry-pick foo
git read-tree -m -u HEAD; # forget that; let's try a different one
git cherry-pick bar
After the recent patch "allow single-pick in the middle of cherry-pick
sequence" we don't need that hack any more. In the new regime, a
traditional "git cherry-pick <commit>" command never looks at
.git/sequencer, so we do not need to cripple "git cherry-pick
<commit>..<commit>" for it any more.
So now you can run "git cherry-pick --abort" near the end of a
multi-pick sequence and it will abort the entire sequence, instead of
misbehaving and aborting just the final commit.

Since 7e2bfd3f (revert: allow cherry-picking more than one commit,
2010-07-02), the pick/revert machinery has kept track of the set of
commits to be cherry-picked or reverted using commit_argc and
commit_argv variables, storing the corresponding command-line
parameters.
Future callers as other commands are built in (am, rebase, sequencer)
may find it easier to pass rev-list options to this machinery in
already-parsed form. Teach cmd_cherry_pick and cmd_revert to parse
the rev-list arguments in advance and pass the commit set to
pick_revisions() as a rev_info structure.

When "git cherry-pick ..bar" encounters conflicts, permit the operator
to use cherry-pick --continue after resolving them as a shortcut for
"git commit && git cherry-pick --continue" to record the resolution
and carry on with the rest of the sequence.
This improves the analogy with "git rebase" (in olden days --continue
was the way to preserve authorship when a rebase encountered
conflicts) and fits well with a general UI goal of making "git cmd
--continue" save humans the trouble of deciding what to do next.
Example: after encountering a conflict from running "git cherry-pick
foo bar baz":
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in main.c
error: could not apply f78a8d98c... bar!
hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths
hint: with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>'
hint: and commit the result with 'git commit'
We edit main.c to resolve the conflict, mark it acceptable with "git
add main.c", and can run "cherry-pick --continue" to resume the
sequence.
$ git cherry-pick --continue
[editor opens to confirm commit message]
[master 78c8a8c98] bar!
1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)
[master 87ca8798c] baz!
1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)
This is done for both codepaths to pick multiple commits and a single
commit.

The "git cherry-pick --abort" command currently renames the
.git/sequencer directory to .git/sequencer-old instead of removing it
on success due to an accident. cherry-pick --abort is designed to
work in three steps:
1) find which commit to roll back to
2) call "git reset --merge <commit>" to move to that commit
3) remove the .git/sequencer directory
But the careless author forgot step 3 entirely. The only reason the
command worked anyway is that "git reset --merge <commit>" renames the
.git/sequencer directory as a secondary effect --- after moving to
<commit>, or so the logic goes, it is unlikely but possible that the
caller of git reset wants to continue the series of cherry-picks that
was in progress, so git renames the sequencer state to
.git/sequencer-old to be helpful while allowing the cherry-pick to be
resumed if the caller did not want to end the sequence after all.
By running "git cherry-pick --abort", the operator has clearly
indicated that she is not planning to continue cherry-picking. Remove
the (renamed) .git/sequencer directory as intended all along.

After running some ill-advised command like "git cherry-pick
HEAD..linux-next", the bewildered novice may want to return to more
familiar territory. Introduce a "git cherry-pick --abort" command
that rolls back the entire cherry-pick sequence and places the
repository back on solid ground.
Just like "git merge --abort", this internally uses "git reset
--merge", so local changes not involved in the conflict resolution are
preserved.

When conflicts are encountered while reverting a commit, it can be
handy to have the name of that commit easily available. For example,
to produce a copy of the patch to refer to while resolving conflicts:
$ git revert 2eceb2a8
error: could not revert 2eceb2a8... awesome, buggy feature
$ git show -R REVERT_HEAD >the-patch
$ edit $(git diff --name-only)
Set a REVERT_HEAD pseudoref when "git revert" does not make a commit,
for cases like this. This also makes it possible for scripts to
distinguish between a revert that encountered conflicts and other
sources of an unmerged index.
After successfully committing, resetting with "git reset", or moving
to another commit with "git checkout" or "git reset", the pseudoref is
no longer useful, so remove it.

In the spirit of v1.6.3.3~3^2 (refuse to merge during a merge,
2009-07-01), "git cherry-pick" refuses to start a new cherry-pick when
in the middle of an existing conflicted cherry-pick in the following
sequence:
1. git cherry-pick HEAD..origin
2. resolve conflicts
3. git cherry-pick HEAD..origin (instead of "git cherry-pick
--continue", by mistake)
Good. However, the error message on attempting step 3 is more
convoluted than necessary:
$ git cherry-pick HEAD..origin
error: .git/sequencer already exists.
error: A cherry-pick or revert is in progress.
hint: Use --continue to continue the operation
hint: or --quit to forget about it
fatal: cherry-pick failed
Clarify by removing the redundant first "error:" message, simplifying
the advice, and using lower-case and no full stops to be consistent
with other commands that prefix their messages with "error:", so it
becomes
error: a cherry-pick or revert is already in progress
hint: try "git cherry-pick (--continue | --quit)"
fatal: cherry-pick failed
The "fatal: cherry-pick failed" line seems unnecessary, too, but
that can be fixed some other day.

The option to "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" to discard the
sequencer state introduced by v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~6 (revert: Introduce
--reset to remove sequencer state, 2011-08-04) has a confusing name.
Change it now, while we still have the time.
The new name for "cherry-pick, please get out of my way, since I've
long forgotten about the sequence of commits I was cherry-picking when
you wrote that old .git/sequencer directory" is --quit. Mnemonic:
this is analagous to quiting a program the user is no longer using ---
we just want to get out of the multiple-command cherry-pick procedure
and not to reset HEAD or rewind any other old state.
The "--reset" option is kept as a synonym to minimize the impact. We
might consider dropping it for simplicity in a separate patch, though.
Adjust documentation and tests to use the newly preferred name (--quit)
instead of --reset. While at it, let's clarify the short descriptions
of these operations in "-h" output.
Before:
--reset forget the current operation
--continue continue the current operation
After:
--quit end revert or cherry-pick sequence
--continue resume revert or cherry-pick sequence

Because git_path() calls vsnprintf(), code like

die_errno(_("Could not write to '%s'"), git_path("SQUASH_MSG"));
can end up printing an error indicator from vsnprintf() instead of
open() by mistake. Store the path we are trying to write to in a

Some of the fatal messages printed by revert and cherry-pick look ugly
like the following:
fatal: Could not open .git/sequencer/todo.: No such file or directory
The culprit here is that these callers of the die_errno() function did not
take it into account that the message string they give to it is followed
by ": <strerror>", hence the message typically should not end with the

do_pick_commit() writes out CHERRY_PICK_HEAD before invoking merge (either
via do_recursive_merge() or try_merge_command()) on the assumption that if
the merge fails it is due to conflict. However, if the tree is dirty, the
merge may not even start, aborting before do_pick_commit() can remove
CHERRY_PICK_HEAD.
Instead, defer writing CHERRY_PICK_HEAD till after merge has returned.
At this point we know the merge has either succeeded or failed due
to conflict. In either case, we want CHERRY_PICK_HEAD to be written
so that it may be picked up by the subsequent invocation of commit.
Note that do_recursive_merge() aborts if the merge cannot start, while
try_merge_command() returns a non-zero value other than 1.

Currently, revert_or_cherry_pick can fail in two ways. If it
encounters a conflict, it returns a positive number indicating the
intended exit status for the git wrapper to pass on; for all other
errors, it calls die(). The latter behavior is inconsiderate towards
callers, as it denies them the opportunity to recover from errors and
do other things.
After this patch, revert_or_cherry_pick will still return a positive
return value to indicate an exit status for conflicts as before, while
for some other errors, it will print an error message and return -1
instead of die()-ing. The cmd_revert and cmd_cherry_pick are adjusted
to handle the fatal errors by die()-ing themselves.
While the full benefits of this patch will only be seen once all the
"die" calls are replaced with calls to "error", its immediate impact
is to change some "fatal:" messages to say "error:" and to add a new
"fatal: cherry-pick failed" message at the end when the operation
fails.

Introduce a new "git cherry-pick --continue" command which uses the
information in ".git/sequencer" to continue a cherry-pick that stopped
because of a conflict or other error. It works by dropping the first
instruction from .git/sequencer/todo and performing the remaining
cherry-picks listed there, with options (think "-s" and "-X") from the
initial command listed in ".git/sequencer/opts".
So now you can do:
$ git cherry-pick -Xpatience foo..bar
... description conflict in commit moo ...
$ git cherry-pick --continue
error: 'cherry-pick' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
fatal: failed to resume cherry-pick
$ echo resolved >conflictingfile
$ git add conflictingfile && git commit
$ git cherry-pick --continue; # resumes with the commit after "moo"
During the "git commit" stage, CHERRY_PICK_HEAD will aid by providing
the commit message from the conflicting "moo" commit. Note that the
cherry-pick mechanism has no control at this stage, so the user is
free to violate anything that was specified during the first
cherry-pick invocation. For example, if "-x" was specified during the
first cherry-pick invocation, the user is free to edit out the message
during commit time. Note that the "--signoff" option specified at
cherry-pick invocation time is not reflected in the commit message
provided by CHERRY_PICK_HEAD; the user must take care to add
"--signoff" during the "git commit" invocation.

Protect the user from forgetting about a pending sequencer operation
by immediately erroring out when an existing cherry-pick or revert
operation is in progress like:
$ git cherry-pick foo
... conflict ...
$ git cherry-pick moo
error: .git/sequencer already exists
hint: A cherry-pick or revert is in progress

fatal: cherry-pick failed
A naive version of this would break the following established ways of

$ git cherry-pick foo
... conflict ...
$ git reset --hard # I actually meant "moo" when I said "foo"
$ git cherry-pick moo
$ git cherry-pick foo
... conflict ...
$ git commit # commit the resolution
$ git cherry-pick moo # New operation
However, the previous patches "reset: Make reset remove the sequencer
state" and "revert: Remove sequencer state when no commits are
pending" make sure that this does not happen.

When cherry-pick or revert is called on a list of commits, and a
conflict encountered somewhere in the middle, the data in
".git/sequencer" is required to continue the operation. However, when
a conflict is encountered in the very last commit, the user will have
to "continue" after resolving the conflict and committing just so that
the sequencer state is removed. This is how the current "rebase -i"
script works as well.
$ git cherry-pick foo..bar
... conflict encountered while picking "bar" ...
$ echo "resolved" >problematicfile
$ git add problematicfile
$ git commit
$ git cherry-pick --continue # This would be a no-op
Change this so that the sequencer state is cleared when a conflict is
encountered in the last commit. Incidentally, this patch makes sure
that some existing tests don't break when features like "--reset" and
"--continue" are implemented later in the series.
A better way to implement this feature is to get the last "git commit"
to remove the sequencer state. However, that requires tighter
coupling between "git commit" and the sequencer, a goal that can be
pursued once the sequencer is made more general.

To explicitly remove the sequencer state for a fresh cherry-pick or
revert invocation, introduce a new subcommand called "--reset" to
remove the sequencer state.
Take the opportunity to publicly expose the sequencer paths, and a
generic function called "remove_sequencer_state" that various git
programs can use to remove the sequencer state in a uniform manner;
"git reset" uses it later in this series. Introducing this public API
is also in line with our long-term goal of eventually factoring out
functions from revert.c into a generic commit sequencer.

Apart from its central objective of calling into the picking
mechanism, pick_commits creates a sequencer directory, prepares a todo
list, and even acts upon the "--reset" subcommand. This makes for a
bad API since the central worry of callers is to figure out whether or
not any conflicts were encountered during the cherry picking. The
current API is like:
if (pick_commits(opts) < 0)
print "Something failed, we're not sure what"
So, change pick_commits so that it's only responsible for picking
commits in a loop and reporting any errors, leaving the rest to a new
function called pick_revisions. Consequently, the API of pick_commits
becomes much clearer:
act_on_subcommand(opts->subcommand);
todo_list = prepare_todo_list();
if (pick_commits(todo_list, opts) < 0)
print "Error encountered while picking commits"
Now, callers can easily call-in to the cherry-picking machinery by
constructing an arbitrary todo list along with some options.
