'git rebase' uses 'git merge' to preserve merges (-p). This preserves
the original merge commit correctly, except when the original merge
commit was created by 'git merge --no-ff'. In this case, 'git rebase'
will fail to preserve the merge, because during 'git rebase', 'git
merge' will simply fast-forward and skip the commit. For example:
B
/ \
A---M
/
---o---O---P---Q
If we try to rebase M onto P, we lose the merge commit and this happens:
A---B
/
---o---O---P---Q
To correct this, we simply do a "no fast-forward" on all merge commits
when rebasing. Since by the time we decided to do a 'git merge' inside
'git rebase', it means there was a merge originally, so 'git merge'
should always create a merge commit regardless of what the merge
branches look like. This way, when rebase M onto P from the above
example, we get:
B
/ \
A---M
/
---o---O---P---Q

The hints in the current "instruction sheet" template look like so:
# Rebase 3f14246..a1d7e01 onto 3f14246
#
# Commands:
# p, pick = use commit
# r, reword = use commit, but edit the commit message
# e, edit = use commit, but stop for amending
# s, squash = use commit, but meld into previous commit
# f, fixup = like "squash", but discard this commit's log message
# x <cmd>, exec <cmd> = Run a shell command <cmd>, and stop if it fails
#
# If you remove a line here THAT COMMIT WILL BE LOST.
# However, if you remove everything, the rebase will be aborted.
#
This does not make it clear that the format of each line is
<insn> <commit id> <explanatory text that will be printed>
but the reader will probably infer that from the automatically
generated pick examples above it.
What about the "exec" instruction? By analogy, I might imagine that
the format of that line is "exec <command> <explanatory text>", and
the "x <cmd>" hint does not address that question (at first I read it
as taking an argument <cmd> that is the name of a shell). Meanwhile,
the mention of <cmd> makes the hints harder to scan as a table.
So remove the <cmd> and add some words to remind the reader that
"exec" runs a command named by the rest of the line. To make room, it
is left to the manpage to explain that that command is run using
$SHELL and that nonzero status from that command will pause the
rebase.
Wording from Junio.

In the case of a ref/pathname conflict, checkout will
already do the right thing and checkout the ref. However,
for a non-existant ref, this has two advantages:
1. If a file with that pathname exists, rebase will
refresh the file from the index and then rebase the
current branch instead of producing an error.
2. If no such file exists, the error message using an
explicit "--" is better:
# before
$ git rebase -i origin bogus
error: pathspec 'bogus' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Could not checkout bogus
# after
$ git rebase -i origin bogus
fatal: invalid reference: bogus
Could not checkout bogus
The problems seem to be trigger-able only through "git
rebase -i", as regular git-rebase checks the validity of the
branch parameter as a ref very early on. However, it doesn't
hurt to be defensive.

The current behvaior of --autosquash can duplicate fixup!/squash! lines
if they match multiple commits, and it can also apply them to commits
that come after them in the todo list. Even more oddly, a commit that
looks like "fixup! fixup!" will match itself and be duplicated in the
todo list.

as they are emitted, and to avoid emitting a fixup/squash commit if the

Although Git interally has the facility to differentiate between
porcelain and plubmbing commands and appropriately print errors,
several shell scripts invoke plubming commands triggering cryptic
plumbing errors to be displayed on a porcelain interface. This patch
replaces the "needs update" message in git-pull and git-rebase, when
`git update-index` is run, with a more friendly message.

Some versions of cut do not cope well with lines that do not end in
an LF. In this case, we can completely avoid cut by using the
${var%% *} parameter expansion (suggested by Brandon Casey).
I found this problem when t3404's "avoid unnecessary reset" failed
due to the "rebase -i" not avoiding updating the tested timestamp.

Commit cd035b1c introduced the exec command to interactive rebase. In
doing so, it modified the way that skip_unnecessary_picks iterates through
the list of rebase commands so that it avoided collapsing multiple spaces
into a single space. This is necessary for example if the argument to the
exec command contains a path with multiple spaces in it.
The way it did this was by reading each line of rebase commands into a
single variable, and then breaking the individual components out using
echo, sed, and cut. It used the individual broken-out components for
decision making, and was still able to write the original line to the
output file from the variable it had saved it in. But, since we only
really need to look at anything other than the first element of the line
when a 'pick' command is encountered, and even that is only necessary when
we are still searching for "unnecessary" picks, and since newer rebase
commands like 'exec' may not even require a sha1 field, let's make our read
statement parse its input into a "command" variable, and a "rest" variable,
and then only break out the sha1 from $rest, and call git-rev-parse, when
absolutely necessary.
I think this future proofs this subroutine, avoids calling git-rev-parse
unnecessarily, and possibly with bogus arguments, and still accomplishes
the goal of not mangling the $rest of the rebase command.

The typical usage pattern would be to run a test (or simply a compilation
command) at given points in history.
The shell command is ran (from the worktree root), and the rebase is
stopped when the command fails, to give the user an opportunity to fix
the problem before continuing with "git rebase --continue".
This needs a little rework of skip_unnecessary_picks, which wasn't robust
enough to deal with lines like
exec >"file name with many spaces"
in the todolist. The new version extracts command, sha1 and rest from
each line, but outputs the line itself verbatim to avoid changing the
whitespace layout.

On systems with an echo which defaults to the XSI-conformant behavior
(Solaris, or others using Ksh), echo will interpret certain backslashed
characters as control sequences. This can cause a problem for interactive
rebase when it is used to rebase commits whose commit "subject" (the first
line) contains any of these backslashed sequences. In this case, echo will
substitute the control sequence for the backslashed characters and either
the rebased commit message will differ from the original, or the rebase
process will fail. Neither is desirable.
So work around this issue by replacing the echo statements used to print
out portions of the commit message, with printf.
Also, add a test to test for this breakage.

Untracked content in the working tree may prevent rebase -i from checking out
the new base onto which it wants to replay commits, if the new base commit
includes files at those (now untracked) paths. Currently, rebase -i dies
uncleanly in this situation, updating ORIG_HEAD and leaving a useless
.git/rebase-merge directory, with which the user can do nothing useful except
rebase --abort. Make rebase -i abort the procedure itself instead, as
non-interactive rebase already does, and add a test for this behavior.

The post-rewrite support, in the form of the call to
'record_in_rewritten', was hidden in the arm where we have to record a
new commit for the user. This meant that it was never invoked in the
case where the user has already amended the commit by herself.
[The test is designed to exercise both arms of the 'if' in question.]
Furthermore, recording the stopped-sha (the SHA1 of the commit before
the editing) suffered from a cut&paste error from die_with_patch and
used the wrong variable, hence it never recorded anything.

For git-rebase.sh, --no-ff is a synonym for --force-rebase.
For git-rebase--interactive.sh, --no-ff cherry-picks all the commits in
the rebased branch, instead of fast-forwarding over any unchanged commits.
--no-ff offers an alternative way to deal with reverted merges. Instead of
"reverting the revert" you can use "rebase --no-ff" to recreate the branch
with entirely new commits (they're new because at the very least the
committer time is different). This obviates the need to revert the
reversion, as you can re-merge the new topic branch directly. Added an
addendum to revert-a-faulty-merge.txt describing the situation and how to
use --no-ff to handle it.

Bash (4.0.24) on OpenBSD 4.6 refuses to run this snippet:
$ cat gomi.sh

one="/var/tmp/1 1"
rm -f /var/tmp/1 "/var/tmp/1 1"
echo hello >$one
$ sh gomi.sh; ls /var/tmp/1*

$ bash gomi.sh; ls /var/tmp/1*
gomi.sh: line 4: $one: ambiguous redirect
ls: /var/tmp/1*: No such file or directory
Every competent shell programmer knows that a <$word in redirection is not
subject to field splitting (POSIX.1 "2.7 Redirection" explicitly lists the
kind of expansion performed: "... the word that follows the redirection
operator shall be subjected to ...", and "Field Splitting" is not among
them).
Some clueless folks apparently decided that users need to be protected in
the name of "security", however.
Output from "git grep -e '> *\$' -- '*.sh'" indicates that rebase-i
suffers from this bogus "safety". Work it around by surrounding the
variable reference with a dq pair.

There is no point doing self-assignments of these variables. Instead,
just export them to the environment, but do so in a sub-shell, because
VAR1=VAL1 VAR2=VAL2 ... command arg1 arg2...
does not mark the variables exported if command that is run
is a shell function, according to POSIX.1.
The callers of do_with_author do not rely on seeing the effect of any
shell variable assignments that may happen inside what was called through
this shell function (currently "output" is the only one), so running it in
