The reflog entries left by "git rebase" and "git rebase -i" were inconsistent. * mg/rebase-i-onto-reflog-in-full: rebase -i: use full onto sha1 in reflog
2012-08-10rebase -i: use full onto sha1 in reflogLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-2/+1
'git rebase' uses the full onto sha1 for the reflog message whereas 'git rebase -i' uses the short sha1. This is not only inconsistent, but can lead to problems when the reflog is inspected at a later time at which that abbreviation may have become ambiguous. Make 'rebase -i' use the full onto sha1, as well. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-07-24rebase -i: handle fixup of root commit correctlyLibravatar Chris Webb1-12/+13
There is a bug with git rebase -i --root when a fixup or squash line is applied to the new root. We attempt to amend the commit onto which they apply with git reset --soft HEAD^ followed by a normal commit. Unlike a real commit --amend, this sequence will fail against a root commit as it has no parent. Fix rebase -i to use commit --amend for fixup and squash instead, and add a test for the case of a fixup of the root commit.

2012-06-26rebase -i: support --root without --ontoLibravatar Chris Webb1-6/+26
Allow --root to be specified to rebase -i without --onto, making it possible to edit and re-order all commits right back to the root(s). If there is a conflict to be resolved when applying the first change, the user will expect a sane index and working tree to get sensible behaviour from git-diff and friends, so create a sentinel commit with an empty tree to rebase onto. Automatically squash the sentinel with any commits rebased directly onto it, so they end up as root commits in their own right and retain their authorship and commit message. Implicitly use rebase -i for non-interactive rebase of --root without an --onto argument now that rebase -i can correctly do this.

2012-06-13rebase -i: teach "--exec <cmd>"Libravatar Lucien Kong1-0/+23
During an interactive rebase session, it is sometimes desirable to run tests on each commit in the resulting history. This can be done by adding "exec <test command>" when editing the insn sheet, but the command used for testing is often the same for all resulting commits. By passing "--exec <cmd>" from the command line, automatically add these "exec" lines after each commit in the final history. To work well with the --autosquash option, these are added at the end of each run of "fixup" and "squash".

2012-04-24git-rebase: add keep_empty flagLibravatar Neil Horman1-3/+32
Add a command line switch to git-rebase to allow a user the ability to specify that they want to keep any commits in a series that are empty. When git-rebase's type is am, then this option will automatically keep any commit that has a tree object identical to its parent. This patch changes the default behavior of interactive rebases as well. With this patch, git-rebase -i will produce a revision set passed to git-revision-editor, in which empty commits are commented out. Empty commits may be kept manually by uncommenting them. If the new --keep-empty option is used in an interactive rebase the empty commits will automatically all be uncommented in the editor.

Giving "--continue" to a conflicted "rebase -i" session skipped a commit that only results in changes to submodules. By John Keeping * jk/rebase-i-submodule-conflict-only: rebase -i continue: don't skip commits that only change submodules
2012-04-09rebase -i continue: don't skip commits that only change submodulesLibravatar John Keeping1-1/+1
When git-rebase--interactive stops due to a conflict and the only change to be committed is in a submodule, the test for whether there is anything to be committed ignores the staged submodule change. This leads rebase to skip creating the commit for the change. While unstaged submodule changes should be ignored to avoid needing to update submodules during a rebase, it is safe to remove the --ignore-submodules option to diff-index because --cached ensures that it is only checking the index. This was discussed in [1] and a test is included to ensure that unstaged changes are still ignored correctly.

Nelson's patch was to stress the fact that the lines in the insn sheet can be re-ordered in a much more verbose way.

"commit --amend" could fail in cases like the user empties the commit message, or pre-commit failed. When it fails, rebase should be interrupted and alert the user, rather than ignoring the error and continue on rebasing. This also gives users a way to gracefully interrupt a "reword" if they decided they actually want to do an "edit", or even "rebase --abort".

2011-10-17"rebase -i": support special-purpose editor to edit insn sheetLibravatar Peter Oberndorfer1-1/+14
The insn sheet used by "rebase -i" is designed to be easily editable by any text editor, but an editor that is specifically meant for it (but is otherwise unsuitable for editing regular text files) could be useful by allowing drag & drop reordering in a GUI environment, for example. The GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR environment variable and/or the sequence.editor configuration variable can be used to specify such an editor, while allowing the usual editor to be used to edit commit log messages. As usual, the environment variable takes precedence over the configuration variable. It is envisioned that other "sequencer" based tools will use the same mechanism.

2011-08-26rebase -i: clean error message for --continue after failed execLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-1/+17
After an "exec false" stops the rebase and gives the control back to the user, if changes are added to the index, "rebase --continue" fails with this message, which may technically be correct, but does not point at the real problem: .../git-rebase--interactive: line 774: .../.git/rebase-merge/author-script: No such file or directory We could try auto-amending HEAD, but this goes against the logic of .git/rebase-merge/author-script (see also the testcase 'auto-amend only edited commits after "edit"' in t3404-rebase-interactive.sh) to auto-amend something the user hasn't explicitely asked to edit. Instead of doing anything automatically, detect the situation and give a clean error message. While we're there, also clarify the error message in case '. "$author_script"' fails, which now corresponds to really weird senario where the author script exists but can't be read.

2011-06-19rebase -i -p: include non-first-parent commits in todo listLibravatar Andrew Wong1-2/+1
Consider this graph: D---E (topic, HEAD) / / A---B---C (master) \ F (topic2) and the following three commands: 1. git rebase -i -p A 2. git rebase -i -p --onto F A 3. git rebase -i -p B Currently, (1) and (2) will pick B, D, C, and E onto A and F, respectively. However, (3) will only pick D and E onto B, but not C, which is inconsistent with (1) and (2). As a result, we cannot modify C during the interactive-rebase. The current behavior also creates a bug if we do: 4. git rebase -i -p C In (4), E is never picked. And since interactive-rebase resets "HEAD" to "onto" before picking any commits, D and E are lost after the interactive-rebase. This patch fixes the inconsistency and bug by ensuring that all children of upstream are always picked. This essentially reverts the commit: d80d6bc146232d81f1bb4bc58e5d89263fd228d4 When compiling the todo list, commits reachable from "upstream" should never be skipped under any conditions. Otherwise, we lose the ability to modify them like (3), and create a bug like (4). Two of the tests contain a scenario like (3). Since the new behavior added more commits for picking, these tests need to be updated to account for the additional pick lines. A new test has also been added for (4).

2011-05-27rebase: write a reflog entry when finishingLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
When we finish a rebase, our detached HEAD is at the final result. We update the original branch ref with this result, and then point the HEAD symbolic ref at the updated branch. We write a reflog for the branch update, but not for the update of HEAD. Because we're already at the final result on the detached HEAD, moving to the branch actually doesn't change our commit sha1 at all. So in that sense, a reflog entry would be pointless. However, humans do read reflogs, and an entry saying "rebase finished: returning to refs/heads/master" can be helpful in understanding what is going on.

2011-04-28git-rebase--interactive.sh: preserve-merges fails on merges created with no-ffLibravatar Andrew Wong1-1/+1
'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 Signed-off-by: Andrew Wong <andrew.kw.w@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-02-10rebase -i: remove unnecessary state rebase-rootLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-19/+0
Before calling 'git cherry-pick', interactive rebase currently checks if we are rebasing from root (if --root was passed). If we are, the '--ff' flag to 'git cherry-pick' is omitted. However, according to the documentation for 'git cherry-pick --ff', "If the current HEAD is the same as the parent of the cherry-picked commit, then a fast forward to this commit will be performed.". This should never be the case when rebasing from root, so it should not matter whether --ff is passed, so simplify the code by removing the condition.

Extract the code for writing the state to rebase-apply/ or rebase-merge/ when a rebase is initiated. This will make it easier to later make both interactive and non-interactive rebase remember the options used. Note that non-interactive rebase stores the sha1 of the original head in a file called orig-head, while interactive rebase stores it in a file called head. Change this by writing to orig-head in both cases. When reading, try to read from orig-head. If that fails, read from head instead. This protects users who upgraded git while they had an ongoing interactive rebase, while still making it possible to remove the code that reads from head at some point in the future.

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.

2011-01-26rebase: use explicit "--" with checkoutLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
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. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-11-23rebase: support --verifyLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-0/+2
Interactive rebase allows the '--verify' option to be passed, but it will be ignored. Implement proper support for the option for both interactive and non-interactive rebase by making it override any previous '--no-verify'.
