"git rebase" has learned to use the merge backend (i.e. the
machinery that drives "rebase -i") by default, while allowing
"--apply" option to use the "apply" backend (e.g. the moral
equivalent of "format-patch piped to am"). The rebase.backend
configuration variable can be set to customize.
* en/rebase-backend:
rebase: rename the two primary rebase backends
rebase: change the default backend from "am" to "merge"
rebase: make the backend configurable via config setting
rebase tests: repeat some tests using the merge backend instead of am
rebase tests: mark tests specific to the am-backend with --am
rebase: drop '-i' from the reflog for interactive-based rebases
git-prompt: change the prompt for interactive-based rebases
rebase: add an --am option
rebase: move incompatibility checks between backend options a bit earlier
git-rebase.txt: add more details about behavioral differences of backends
rebase: allow more types of rebases to fast-forward
t3432: make these tests work with either am or merge backends
rebase: fix handling of restrict_revision
rebase: make sure to pass along the quiet flag to the sequencer
rebase, sequencer: remove the broken GIT_QUIET handling
t3406: simplify an already simple test
rebase (interactive-backend): fix handling of commits that become empty
rebase (interactive-backend): make --keep-empty the default

Different rebase backends have different treatment for commits which
start empty (i.e. have no changes relative to their parent), and the
--keep-empty option was added at some point to allow adjusting behavior.
The handling of commits which start empty is actually quite similar to
commit b00bf1c9a8dd (git-rebase: make --allow-empty-message the default,
2018-06-27), which pointed out that the behavior for various backends is
often more happenstance than design. The specific change made in that
commit is actually quite relevant as well and much of the logic there
directly applies here.
It makes a lot of sense in 'git commit' to error out on the creation of
empty commits, unless an override flag is provided. However, once
someone determines that there is a rare case that merits using the
manual override to create such a commit, it is somewhere between
annoying and harmful to have to take extra steps to keep such
intentional commits around. Granted, empty commits are quite rare,
which is why handling of them doesn't get considered much and folks tend
to defer to existing (accidental) behavior and assume there was a reason
for it, leading them to just add flags (--keep-empty in this case) that
allow them to override the bad defaults. Fix the interactive backend so
that --keep-empty is the default, much like we did with
--allow-empty-message. The am backend should also be fixed to have
--keep-empty semantics for commits that start empty, but that is not
included in this patch other than a testcase documenting the failure.
Note that there was one test in t3421 which appears to have been written
expecting --keep-empty to not be the default as correct behavior. This
test was introduced in commit 00b8be5a4d38 ("add tests for rebasing of
empty commits", 2013-06-06), which was part of a series focusing on
rebase topology and which had an interesting original cover letter at
https://lore.kernel.org/git/1347949878-12578-1-git-send-email-martinvonz@gmail.com/
which noted
Your input especially appreciated on whether you agree with the
intent of the test cases.
and then went into a long example about how one of the many tests added
had several questions about whether it was correct. As such, I believe
most the tests in that series were about testing rebase topology with as
many different flags as possible and were not trying to state in general
how those flags should behave otherwise.

When set to "warn" or "error", `rebase.missingCommitsCheck' would make
`rebase -i' warn if the user removed commits from the todo list to
prevent mistakes. Unfortunately, `rebase --edit-todo' and `rebase
--continue' don't take it into account.
This adds the ability for `rebase --edit-todo' and `rebase --continue'
to check if commits were dropped by the user. As both edit_todo_list()
and complete_action() parse the todo list and check for dropped commits,
the code doing so in the latter is removed to reduce duplication.
`edit_todo_list_advice' is removed from sequencer.c as it is no longer
used there.
This changes when a backup of the todo list is made. Until now, it was
saved only once, before the initial edit. Now, it is also made if the
original todo list has no errors or no dropped commits. Thus, the
backup should be error-free. Without this, sequencer_continue()
(`rebase --continue') could only compare the current todo list against
the original, unedited list. Before this change, this file was only
used by edit_todo_list() and `rebase -p' to create the backup before
the initial edit, and check_todo_list_from_file(), only used by
`rebase -p' to check for dropped commits after its own initial edit.
If the edited list has an error, a file, `dropped', is created to
report the issue. Otherwise, it is deleted. Usually, the edited list
is compared against the list before editing, but if this file exists,
it will be compared to the backup. Also, if the file exists,
sequencer_continue() checks the list for dropped commits. If the
check was performed every time, it would fail when resuming a rebase
after resolving a conflict, as the backup will contain commits that
were picked, but they will not be in the new list. It's safe to
ignore this check if `dropped' does not exist, because that means that
no errors were found at the last edition, so any missing commits here
have already been picked.
Five tests are added to t3404. The tests for
`rebase.missingCommitsCheck = warn' and `rebase.missingCommitsCheck =
error' have a similar structure. First, we start a rebase with an
incorrect command on the first line. Then, we edit the todo list,
removing the first and the last lines. This demonstrates that
`--edit-todo' notices dropped commits, but not when the command is
incorrect. Then, we restore the original todo list, and edit it to
remove the last line. This demonstrates that if we add a commit after
the initial edit, then remove it, `--edit-todo' will notice that it
has been dropped. Then, the actual rebase takes place. In the third
test, it is also checked that `--continue' will refuse to resume the
rebase if commits were dropped. The fourth test checks that no errors
are raised when resuming a rebase after resolving a conflict, the fifth
checks that no errors are raised when editing the todo list after
pausing the rebase.

The message contained in `edit_todo_list_advice' (sequencer.c) is
printed after the initial edit of the todo list if it can't be parsed or
if commits were dropped. This is done either in complete_action() for
`rebase -i', or in check_todo_list_from_file() for `rebase -p'.
Since we want to add this check when editing the list, we also want to
use this message from edit_todo_list() (rebase-interactive.c). To this
end, check_todo_list_from_file() is moved to rebase-interactive.c, and
`edit_todo_list_advice' is copied there. In the next commit,
complete_action() will stop using it, and `edit_todo_list_advice' will
be removed from sequencer.c.

edit_todo_list() is changed to work on a todo_list, and to handle the
initial edition of the todo list (ie. making a backup of the todo
list).
It does not check for dropped commits yet, as todo_list_check() does not
take the commits that have already been processed by the rebase (ie. the
todo list is edited in the middle of a rebase session).

This moves the writing of the comment "Rebase $shortrevisions onto
$shortonto ($command_count commands)" from todo_list_write_to_file() to
append_todo_help().
shortrevisions, shortonto, and command_count are passed as parameters to
append_todo_help().
During the initial edit of the todo list, shortrevisions and shortonto
are not NULL. Therefore, if shortrevisions or shortonto is NULL, then
edit_todo would be true, otherwise it would be false. Thus, edit_todo
is removed from the parameters of append_todo_help().

This refactors check_todo_list() to work on a todo_list to avoid
redundant reads and writes to the disk. The function is renamed
todo_list_check(). The parsing of the two todo lists is left to the
caller.
As rebase -p still need to check the todo list from the disk, a new
function is introduced, check_todo_list_from_file(). It reads the file
from the disk, parses it, pass the todo_list to todo_list_check(), and
writes it back to the disk.
As get_missing_commit_check_level() and the enum
missing_commit_check_level are no longer needed inside of sequencer.c,
they are moved to rebase-interactive.c, and made static again.

This removes the modes `--skip-unnecessary-picks`, `--append-todo-help`,
and `--checkout-onto` from rebase--helper.c, the functions of
git-rebase--interactive.sh that were rendered useless by the rewrite of
complete_action(), and append_todo_help_to_file() from
rebase-interactive.c.
skip_unnecessary_picks() and checkout_onto() becomes static, as they are
only used inside of the sequencer.

This refactors append_todo_help() to write its message to a buffer
instead of the todo-list. This is needed for the rewrite of
complete_action(), which will come after the next commit.
As rebase--helper still needs the file manipulation part of
append_todo_help(), it is extracted to a temporary function,
append_todo_help_to_file(). This function will go away after the
rewrite of complete_action().

This rewrites the edit-todo functionality from shell to C.
To achieve that, a new command mode, `edit-todo`, is added, and the
`write-edit-todo` flag is removed, as the shell script does not need to
write the edit todo help message to the todo list anymore.
The shell version is then stripped in favour of a call to the helper.

This rewrites append_todo_help() from shell to C. It also incorporates
some parts of initiate_action() and complete_action() that also write
help texts to the todo file.
This also introduces the source file rebase-interactive.c. This file
will contain functions necessary for interactive rebase that are too
specific for the sequencer, and is part of libgit.a.
Two flags are added to rebase--helper.c: one to call
append_todo_help() (`--append-todo-help`), and another one to tell
append_todo_help() to write the help text suited for the edit-todo
mode (`--write-edit-todo`).
Finally, append_todo_help() is removed from git-rebase--interactive.sh
to use `rebase--helper --append-todo-help` instead.
